Hi Cat, Thank you for the birthday wishes. Being the procrastinator that I am, I just printed out a blank calendar for the rest of the year. I have decided to put a big green dollar sign on each day that is gamble-free. I think this will also symbolize…and hopefully attract lol…money flowing in from other sources other than gambling. Also, symbolizing money that will not be flowing out and wasted on gambling. I have also resumed putting a quarter a day in a glass jar. Which, ironically, is shaped like an elephant.
When I went to see a counselor about my mother’s drinking problem, she talked about addiction being the elephant in the room that no one wanted to talk about. In this case, I am going to literally feed the elephant, the elephant that is not the addiction!
I am glad that your husband is at least working on his drinking problem. I have to admit I could relate to the starting on Monday thing. I have been going to start doing or not doing something on Monday for the last 40 years!
