just a couple quick notes. I’m sure you will know whether taking a break is good for you or not.
I am fond of Geordie but I will validate some feelings for you. I too found Geordie’s post attacking. That was the description that came to my mind when I first read it. I thought some of his words poorly chosen and his questioning excessive. Those who earn very high incomes can often pull themselves out of the gambling debt much more quickly than those with limited income.
I thought there was absolutely nothing wrong with your purchasing new clothes, I thought it was a very healthy reward for doing well in your recovery.
I understand what you mean about handling your own money eventually and dealing with your own finances. I too went back to handling money within a year of stopping gambling. I had a pretty healthy recovery for I’d say several years. And kept going for a couple more on autopilot. But I did go back again. This doesn’t mean you will be like me. But sometimes we are willing to take from ourselves but not do anything criminal like take from our boss. I do hope you never gamble again the rest of your life.
Peace Jonny
