Thanks kpat and P for your posts! Thanks for your support! I know that if I can ride it out (the urges) and find other things to keep me occupied that I will not gamble. I have been on the brink of gambling many times but have been able to refrain. The thought of being broke and depressed have kept me from gambling too. I have no one but myself to depend on financially so that has also kept the gambling at bay. My Grandson is feeling a lot better. He still has the cough but not as bad as yesterday. I sent my Daughter off with her friends for a night out. So my Grandson and I are just hanging out playing games and watching TV. The washer and oven won’t be fixed for another 2 weeks as parts had to be ordered. At least they will be fixed at some point. I am going home on Monday and will return in 8 days as I promised my Daughter earlier that I would be here so she could attend 2 early morning meetings for her work. Everything is good here!
