Absolutely wonderful to catch up on your posts and see how you are doing 🙂
Finding a counselor who was a good match was also life changing for me. Because it was honestly and truly about me.
Time off is essential! We have to be careful we aren’t working so much that it’s like a punishment for the losses. You need to nurture and feed your soul. Rewards for your hard work and efforts at recovery and to just live life. A concert with a friends sounds like a most healthy way to spend your time. And as much as a gambling addiction brings pain, working on it can bring a greater awareness of the true blessings in life. Something we can actually be thankful for.
I agree… a normal life is achievable for us all.
great post!
