I am feeling much better as I sit here and am able to speak to my efforts to remain gamble free.
I was experiencing alot of urges especially tonight.
My hubby had offered to be supportive no matter what. Tonight I took him up on his offer. It was slow at work and i was going to be able to leave early and I just wasn’t prepared to be alone with my thoughts and powerful urges. I did the right thing and called him. I asked him to be there for me tonight and let him know of my struggle and would he just spend some time with me. i asked him to take a hot tub. it meant he would have to get out of bed and join me. He came through with flying colours. He is off all summer so i didn’t feel to bad getting him out out of bed. He in turn did not make me feel bad at all and reiterated his promise to be supportive. How great is that !!!! Thankyou so much hubby.

Thanks Harry,
I really am trying to take care!!!
We are going to my family doctor in a few more hours to discuss my gambling. I called him and asked if he would do hypnotherapy with me. Its something I tried in the pat. That is how i managed to quit smoking. He isn’t practicing that anymore on a regular basis so i am not sure if he will make an exception and put me under at least a few times. I think it might help with the urges. We will see what he thinks.
I can’t seem to sleep so that is why I’m here and typing away.

so I followed through with my visit to my Doctor. We spent a good hour with him just discussing the issues I have had with gambling lately.
My husband was there too and I held nothing back. After tears and admissions, my doctor agreed to try a few sessions of hypnotherapy to help solidify my goals of never returning to gambling. My doctor is the kindest man I know and said he wasn’t just my doctor but our good friend. So he would make an exception and work with me to help me gain the upper hand of this addiction. He is so busy though and I will wait until October to start. I’m ok with that because it gives me something to look forward to and reason to stay on track. Reaching out isn’t easy but this was worthwhile and we must remember that we are worth it no matter what holes we dig for ourselves. Right???
