ever ask yourself why he might be enabling you Bodeni??
Chat opens in approx 40 minutes
Better if you stick to writing on one thread
Otherwise it can be confusing
Like playing 3 slot machines ! lol!Hello Bodeni and welcome to GT!
I hear you on the “non supportive” husband saga!
When I knew I was “in trouble” I asked my husband (begged him actually) to keep an eye on me, i.e. not to allow me out alone with money, come for walks with me or to the cinema/theatre or for meals. He didn’t listen. He didn’t hear me. He didn’t want to know. This suited me down to the ground! Now I REALLY had an excuse to gamble! I would punish him for letting me down , for not listening!
Know what?
I spent another six years punishing myself! I created HUGE debt, wrecked what was left of our relationship and destroyed my health!
A CG will use every excuse to gamble
Stop for YOU not for HIM
Did gambling solve any of my problems?
You BET it magnified them a thousand times!
Keep posting!HAPPY NEW YEAR KATHRYN!
Thanks for ALL your help and support since we met in 2008!
Hi Ali!
Gambling will take everything from us if we choose to give in to it’s demands!
The ONLY way to survive it’s grip is to give it NOTHING!
Make gambling IMPOSSIBLE
We all have a chance to start anew in 2015
one day at a time
Never give up!What a story, Frozen!
(I still think of you as “Frozen Assets” lol!!)
It seems life has thrown sufficient “chaos” your way in the last few years!
So much that you won’t need to add to that chaos by gambling.
I wish you a extension of your gamble Free Life, one day at a time
Not one of us will take one breath more than is measured out for us, so for today, breathe as a Free man, not a Slave!Once we cross the line, we can never go back, Jen!
We need to make gambling IMPOSSIBLE!
It seems easy to stop and stay stopped, but it is difficult!
Nobody can take your gamble free time away
Focus on the positive aspects of Recovery!
odaat!

I know you are thinking of taking retirement in the near future.
I want you to know that are in my thoughts and prayers as you plan the next phase of your life.
There is a time for everything! You will KNOW when that time is right!

Hope your “settlement” won’t go astray!
Don’t know how you can manage you assemble a games table!
A multi- talented Lady!
How could you ever have TIME to gamble?This year, instead of sitting at a slot machine thinking about what I should / could / would do for Christmas, I am at home DOING ALL THOSE THINGS!
Action speaks louder than words
recovery can be hard work but it brings joy.
Gambling seems easy but it brings grief!
Chaos versus Order!
Freedom versus Slavery!
Life versus Death!HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ONE AND ALL!!
“Vera”I really admire the way you are handling your Recovery Kpat!
Attending school events, looking after your family, starting a new job etc.
As Bettie says, it takes a long time to sort out losses and debt.
When I joined GT in 2008 I owed €120k. If I had STOPPED GAMBLING THEN I would be debt free now. (If only!)
I didn’t stop.
I took early retirement on ill health grounds this year. (gambling contributed hugely to the decline in my health!)
I will be paying off my debt for another 4 years!
I’m telling you this K , to highlight the importance of staying stopped!
STOPPING is far easier than STAYING STOPPED!
I wish I had never gone back once I stopped….no point in rambling though! I nearly CRY when I think of all the money I threw away. €250k in all.
I could be rich now.
Most of all , I could be healthy!
Take a fool’s advice K and don’t gamble.
It’s a mug’s game!
