Day 333 – Very busy these days. Don’t think about gambling much these days…
Geordie – I’m glad you enjoy reading my posts. I’m glad to read your posts. I’m not sure what you want me to say? I’ve been pretty honest as far as I know. I don’t have much to defend or uphold. I will say it for the 20th time. I write on here for my recovery and to tell people the truth about how I feel. If they don’t like what I have to say then they don’t have to read it or agree with it. I’m not a professional counselor. I’m a recovering gambler. I’m not trying to prove myself to you or anyone else. Just to myself. If you don’t like me then I’m ok with that. I do beg one thing of you though. Please just email me a question or two and I’ll answer. But the long email thing doesn’t totally work for me. Also – If I’m going to answer your questions I think it fair that you answer mine. Tit for tat so to say…
Your question – The quick question was how’d you manage to pay 1-2 years debt off in less than six months?
Answer: The estimate to pay off the debt that you are pointing out was made by me based on my old salary and hoping I would work for 9 months or so last year. I also made that assumption while I was in a full blown fog of gambling so I wouldn’t put much merit on it. Fortunately I got lucky and was promoted earning 33% more per week and have not stopped working besides maybe 3-4 weeks in that time as well as picking up side work to make extra scratch. Plus I live a very meager lifestyle and have little to no bills. I also travel for work so I don’t pay rent most months. Does that answer that question for you? Whats the next one?
My question: What and why were you incarcerated 5 times in your life?
