Thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. You and I are in similar points in our recovery. Every day the thoughts of gambling become less and less. I do still play the lottery, very sparingly since I always felt it was likely a waste of money. but I haven’t done the races or the casino, or the slots in over 7 months. There are days that I am dissapointed in myself for “doing it wrong” and losing control. I still debate that level of addiction that I had, however, there is no debating the amount of debt, stress, and dissapointment my gambling had caused. Life is much better without it, than it is with it. I don’t truly “miss” it, but there are still fleeting thoughts of the excitement I used to have, but then I remember the depression that followed. Im too old to ride that roller coaster anymore. You are a stallwart on this site, and I thank you for your input. GT is much better with you sharing your experiences!
