Hi kpat, well done on sorting through stuff.. I know what you mean about mess though .. It always gets worse before it gets better. You found a lot of gambling receipts , which is depressing but you also found a lot of evidence of all the things you did a brilliant job at Eg, your marriage, your kids etc. perhaps we don’t focus on the good things we have achieved.
We are not gambling addicts… We are good people with a gambling addiction. Gambling doesn’t define us!
I have the same problem in my house..a smelly hairy dog and I can’t have a comfy rug or a clean floor. In fact she has somehow managed to establish herself on the sofas so I am washing them daily .. But I don’t mind as my son loves her so much !
Im so glad your poor husband’s toothache had improved.the things we deprive ourselves of.
Hope you have a wonderful gamble free day .
Ps check out this link.. I have started taking magnesium supplements..
