Relating to my last post, my husband and I have been bowling on a league every Wednesday since September. Our teammates are friends of ours. We both really enjoy it. Neither one of us had really bowled before, and we joke about the fact that now we “are bowlers”. For me, it’s been a good distraction from gambling, and I find myself looking forward to going. I like that it’s fast-paced and mindless. Last week, I was watching how excited people got when they got strikes and spares. For me, it’s a little like hitting that bonus…bump, bump, bump. But, it’s so much better because everyone is happy for you, too. Healthy competition, where everyone just tries to do the best they can. Sometimes my husband and I play ok, but most of the time we don’t, and we usually lose. I love that we don’t care. We are just there to have fun. ok, we do care a little, but we are getting better. I like that my bowling is improving. I was never going to get better at gambling, and with bowling, there is no shame or devastation in losing. It’s just a game…better luck next time! And, I am looking forward to knocking those pins down again next week!
