I like to respond to this thread! I think it is important for us all to realize we are making progress, slow but sure. I had a car issue today $1000 repair (aarrgghh)…I called my wife who is out of town, and she got nervous right away because financial stress has always been one of my triggers… But for once, I have the money on hand to fix it. It won’t leave me with much, but my “normal” brain is over riding my “gambling” brain for once, which I think is a really good sign. I am recognizing the damage I can cause if I lose money right now, and it isn’t going to happen… I am very proud of myself right now. Silly to be proud of something so small, but in the the scheme of things it is huge!!!
