Hi Guys!
L & L, lol!
Thanks for the check up. I talked to my sponsor tonight, just girl talk and it was good. Yea Laura. I can be a real downer however as bad as i can be i am SO much more positive than I used to be. It is frustrating because sometimes it just feels that no matter how much I try to be positive it makes no difference, it all turns to cr*p.
Just life happening, and I have no control over some things and have to let them go. Thats the hard part for me.
I’m gonna paint that kitchen next week! No procrastinating!
My cg friend called me at work today. I had to laugh at him. He called to complain about a new $2 service charge and wanted to know how to avoid it. Now mind you he has paid hundreds in overdraft fees already this year, and I’m sure he accepts that as part of his gambling expenses, but like most cg’s he saves pennies to waste dollars. How insane is that? Been there, done that!
I have also noticed a lot of new folks struggling with the monetary losses. I read something good I want to share.
" When we chose to gamble we willing gave that money to the casino-it doesn’t belong to us anymore! Why do we keep referring to it as our money? If we had bought something tangible with it, say a TV or Car or house, we could accept that we spent the money. Yes, they used marketing to get us to go there, so does the store. They Didn’t drive to our door, put a gun to our head, and force us into a car to go."
Do I regret the money i wasted? Yes, but I accept the fact that it is gone and I choose to move on.
peace
bettie
