Hi Bettie –
Good to see you in Community group tonite.
I have not handed control of my money over to anyone else, because for me it is not necessary. I never found that having money was a trigger. When I quit smoking 23 years ago, I didn’t hand my money over to anyone then either !! For me, handling money is a normal part of life. I think we can be successful even without handing over our cash.
Money is not the problem, gambling is, that is why I took the step of banning. I still remember how good it felt to turn my back on that casino and walk away without placing a bet. I felt like a winner for the first time in a long time.
I still have the occasional gambling dream and am always profoundly grateful when I wake up and realize I never have to do that again.
I wonder if those casino ads trigger the dreams ?The casino advertisements on TV are new here, and I laugh at them too – all those beautiful people having such an exciting time at the casino. And then I come here and the newcomers keep coming with their tales of misery. I guess if I want reality, I should turn off the TV, eh ?
Take care xxx
Reds.
