Hi Monica
Congratulations on the job – you are so employable -I read your post and found myself wishing I had taken a different career path – And it feels to late for everything now .
It is hard not to lend money when you have it and people ask- but sometimes we have to fit our own oxygen mask first . I think those of us who dreamt of helping everyone with our big win have always been generous (maybe too generous ) with money . I look back at the friends I have helped financially and many of them are no longer even in my life …
I am delighted you have got work – and this job may turn out to be the right one after all – you never know what contacts or friends you will make there .
I have got a new phone – so will be back in groups more – unfortunately the cross- over time has left me vulnerable and I have “dabbled “ . I actually thought I was safe due to Gamstop. I feel gutted with myself and wanted to write about it on my own thread but I am afraid of starting the “drama” again and can’t go through feeling unsafe again (so I might delete this part once you have read it ).
I have decided that Gamstop simply doesn’t work – after all the hoops you have to go through to get signed up – it seems they don’t connect your details to gambling sites on their list !
I hope we can connect loads more – I am not home at the moment and find it difficult to get time to myself to go to groups but I miss the chats with you and Laura .
Keep strong – hope you enjoy the work !
