Things are going good thanks for asking! No gambling for over a year now but I do think about it now and again. I change the channel and think about something else.
I guess the most important ban is the mental ban we place on ourselves. If you can’t find someone whom you won’t take advantage of then you just have to handle finances in ways that don’t leave you with a lot of gambling money sitting around. And for years that is what our money was. Gambling money not to be wasted on bills or food. Pay important bills right away. Set up a savings account that you can’t access easily and transfer and extra money you don’t need right away there. Keep at it. A gamble free life is so much better and worth the effort.
I always tell people, if we put as much effort into stopping as we do into gambling we can beat this.
take care,
Laura
