Monicau, Wow, I’m so impressed with the programme. It sound awesome. I’m glad that you were able to attend. Thank goodness your Son is helping with the test and probotics. You need to get your health back so you can concentrate on your life. I’m really happy for you. It was a great experience for you! Take care.

I Laura, I’m a bit jealous right now. Sitting on a beach taking in the sun is my favorite thing. Keep enjoying your trip!

Thank you i-did-it for your supportive post! I can do this (job)! We are not gambling!!! That is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. I think you are doing great! Take care.

Thanks i-did-it for your supportive post! I really needed it!! I have to remember why I’m doing it! I need to hang in there. It will be a relief when i have that extra cash. A big stress relief
I have 2 days off. Time to get caught up on things. I might watch my Granddaughter tonight. I need to have more faith in myself. I am out of my comfort zone. But that can be a good thing. I need to work with it and not against it. Number 1 is that I’m not gambling!

I’m so bummed! I’ve past all of the computer tests and I’m working on the store floor. I detest it!! Really!!! I’m at home right now having lunch since its 1 hour long. I know the answer is to hang in there but I don’t think that this is for me. ??????????? At least I’m not gambling.

Thanks Kathryn and i-did-it for your posts. Today was kinda of a blah day. It seemed like anything that could go wrong did. I tried to make the best of it but I was a little grouchy by the end of the day. Tomorrow is a new day! My oldest Daughter text back ok to my text saying no to staying with my Grandson for a week. I feel like I’m always there for my family and it’s ok if I
say no! I might need the Epsom salts soon. My neck and shoulders are tight and sore from sitting at the computer for 7 hours! Lol! Still not having gambling urges.

Thanks Laura for your post! Orientation was fun. I even participated in the activities. The next 3 days are training (computer self paced) I really enjoyed myself today. Everyone was very nice. I really think that this will be good for me. My oldest Daughter never text me back. I never say no to her. They can go on a hiking trip some other time. No guilt feeling now! I have to take care of myself first!!! No gambling thoughts!

Thank you i-did-it. My oldest Daughter just text me asking if I could stay with my Grandson for a week in March. They want to go on a hiking trip. I had to say no as I am working. I feel so guilty but I have to take care of myself first! Guilt feelings are another of my triggers/issues. Something I need to work through.

Hi Maverick, I’ve been thinking of you. Have you received the scam results? I hope you are having a great day!

[lizbeth4]

Thinking of you today Monicau. I’m up early waiting for my Granddaughter to arrive. Tomorrow is orientation. Surprisingly, I’m not nervous. I just want to get this show on the road! LOL! No gambling urges! It’s going to be a great day!

[lizbeth4]

Safe travels!

[lizbeth4]

Hi i-did-it, You can do this! We have to get through the urges and thoughts! Remember, we are worth so much more than this awful addiction. I hope you are having a great day! You deserve it.

Hi Monicau, All things are possible for you. You deserve all the best! Credit-its a scam in my opinion. I was given tons of credit which in reality with my income, I should have never been offered. It’s a non-ending vicious circle. I’ve cut up all cards but my Visa debit card. 9 credit cards are on my monthly repayment plan. I wanted to file for bankruptcy but where I live some of my assets had to be sold first which I decided against. Lesson learned. Cash instead of cards! Good wishes on your trip and new journey. I’m excited for you. Take care

Thanks i-did-it for your post! I have Epsom salts. I swear by it also. I wanted to share this quote as a lot of us forget self care. “You can’t pour from a empty cup, take care of yourself first.” author unknown. Putting myself last has always been a downfall for me. Taking care of myself and putting myself first is a priority. It will help in all areas of my life even my gambling recovery.

Thanks Kathryn for your post! I woke to snow this morning. We don’t get a lot but it was well past due. I really believe that everything is going to be alright in my life. I didn’t make this financial mess in a day so it will take some time to make things right. I have to believe in myself. Although I sometimes feel all alone in my journey except for the support from GT, I will be all right. I’ve been out of the workforce for 9 years so that is my only hesitation. But I’m ready to take the plunge so I can move forward. Life can be so beautiful if we let go of the negatives and just enjoy it. I’m not gambling. I don’t want to gamble either. For now I’m going to curl up under the blankets and watch TV. Have a great gamble free day everyone!
