    Uncontrolled, you’ve taken a huge painful step in recovery.  About 57 years ago, my dad played poker with some work friends.  He came home with a pile of money.  My parents bought a crib and other baby things for their baby on the way.  A few paydays later, my dad lost most of his check in the poker game.  They didn’t have food to get to the next payday. From that point on, he handed all finances over to mom and never had more than a few dollars cash on him.  He never gambled again.  That might be the path for you too.  No money, no debit card and no credit card = no gambling.

    Неконтролируемый, вы сделали огромный болезненный шаг на пути к выздоровлению. Около 57 лет назад мой отец играл в покер с друзьями по работе. Он пришел домой с кучей денег. Родители купили по дороге кроватку и другие детские вещи. Несколько дней спустя мой отец проиграл большую часть своего чека в покере. У них не было еды, чтобы добраться до следующего дня зарплаты. С этого момента он передал все финансы маме, и у него никогда не было больше нескольких долларов наличными. Он больше никогда не играл. Это может быть путь и для вас. Ни денег, ни дебетовой карты, ни кредитной карты = никаких азартных игр.

    Ican had the same problem of losing control of her car!  Hope you can figure out what’s causing it.  Could it be your tires?  I used to work for a place that kept tabs on us while we were on maternity leave.  How crazy is that?  Isn’t the baby proof?  Maybe things have eased up because it boarder lines harassment.

    Bettie, it sounds like you’ve found your niche in the online auctions. Sounds a lot more lucrative than a yard sale. I’ve never bought or sold anything online but I might just do it someday.  I’ll ask you for pointers first.
    Glad you made it safely home!
