Thanks for checking in… I work retail so the long weekend was just that for me. I am in the furniture business (mattresses to be exact) and it is our busy time…I have been in retail for 28 years now.. and I am 100% certain that it has played a huge role in my gambling life. For 10 hours a day, I have to be “on” and sell any Tom, Dick, or Harry that comes into my store…. The “play” time for me was when my mind could unwind. I played blackjack, so the basic strategy came as second nature, and I didn’t have to think too much. I would work for an entire month, get a great commission check, only to be broke within a week. Granted I had many bills, and overexpenditures…but the gambling was always the extra burden.
I hope this finds you well, and I thank you for checking in…I am approaching 10 months from last time I was irresponsible. ( I can’t say I haven’t gambled –lottery and raffles–)..but that is very different in my mind because I haven’t ever gone overboard on either.
Have a great evening, thanks for your time!
Keep the faith!!!
