Congratulations on your gamble free time Monica. I’m glad to read that you are feeling a bit better physically these days although stress can translate into physical ailments when not dealt with. One step at a time. What can you do to help protect yourself from the stress of the debts? Anything? Gambling was a coping mechanism, not a great one of course, but it was. Now your games are helping you phase out from the stress. Again maybe not a good coping mechanism. What are some healthy beneficial coping mechanisms? Replacing the old and the bad with the new and the good. One little step at a time has gotten you this far. You are a strong woman Monica. I think we deserve to take a break from being the strong one all the time. Take care of you. xo Laura
