Well lasted on a few pennies in the last few days. Pay day tomorrow both looking forward and dreading it at same time. Have already arranged to take Baird shopping so that some money goes into buying stuff rather than gambling. That said given what I have been through these last few days with no cash, no way am I going to put myself in this position again. It's gonna be tough but.... Bring it on!,, gonna stare it in the face and tell it to do one!!
How are you doing today strange?
Well I am feeling epic!!! Like the TVs ad! Got paid yesterday ! Guess what ? bought the daughter shoes coat and t shirt! Still got money in the bank. Up to l11 days and feeling normal. Not rich ! Still watching the pennies but not gambling is more exciting!
The ability to spend is huge! What a buzz! Keep at it lady !,,,
Well today and tomorrow are real danger days 2 days off work with money in my pocket.have worked out what I can afford to lose! Noooooo can't afford to lose anything!!! Got to try to save some money and live on what I have. Got plenty to keep me occupied and gonna have a nice glass of wine tonight with the hubby! When I think of gambling gonna try to focus on the losing feeling and no cash in my pocket. Next 2 days will be hard but I think I am up for the fight!!
havent posted in a while. Been some rubbish in my life but I am dealing with it. Gambling is not the cause but hasn't helped. I think I need to focus on what is important. now a single mum so it's even more important hat I keep what I earn for us.
Hi Strange , good to see you back !
Stay positive , best wishes Alan x
Well I have been to 2 GA meetings this week and for those who haven't been . Do it find a meeting! The he face to face support is brilliant! I was so nervous walking through the door. To talk to people who know what you're going through is simply incredible. Walking out the door I felt brilliant. I really feel focussed and confident. I think I may become a compulsive meeting attended but that's so much better for my mental health. They offer support practical advice and empathy. I think they may just have changed my life!!!
Nice post. Good on you
Lovely positive post and great to see you sounding a lot happier in your world !
Best wishes Alan
