How was Christmas Vera?

[vera]

I had a very good Christmas, thanks, IDI.
The Newlyweds and my youngest son came home.
Usual travelling to church/baking/ scoffing food/etc.etc.
We had a very peaceful time
UNTIL
I decided to blow a ton of money.
My LAST gamble.
I will be going back to GA next week and have no intention of gambling between now and then.
2019 will be a G free year.
I’m sick of losing.
The price is too high.
I’m done!
Stick a fork in me!

Sorry to hear u gambled but Xmas is a tricky time of year for compulsive gamblers. I haven’t gsmbled but I have spent money and played a computer game compulsively since just before Xmas.
We now look forward to a gf 2019. Gambling always ends the same way. I hope u haven’t eaten away again at the lump sum Vera. I am glad u r going back to GA. I too am going as even though I haven’t gambled I recognise that I need more support to keep going for and not switch to a poor mans version, ie the computer game.
Happy new year vera!

Vera! Glad your going back to GA. We have to do whatever works for us. Obviously I have yet to figure that out. I know I should not have any access to extra money. I have no credit cards. I always say I am going to cut up tyme card but never do. Although it’s so easy to replace here unless the bank is closed. I have given my other 1/2 a lot of money over the past several months which I will not ask for. I told him not to give to me no matter what bull I come up with. It’s an emergency fund and if I ever need to pay a bill it is to be paid by him. (And not to any loans etc. which thankfully I do not have) in reality I know I should have zero acess BUT as easy as it sounds it’s just as complicated. What really needs to happen is I need a shock collar around my neck…. sorry to rattle here. I just wanted to stop by and wish us a Happy GF New Year!! You did it before. You can do it again. I just hope to do the same.

Thanks Jen and Monica.
Just for today, I have no desire (or energy ) to gamble.
Tomorrow, next week, next month might present me with a different scenario.
I will take each day as it comes.
The bulk of my « fund » is intact, Monica.
Thank God but I did borrow and dip in far too often. I have decided this is IT. I will make arrangements with the bank to keep it in a safer place,
It served as a cushion for my gambling this year.
My mindset has changed now.
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

I wish you a Happy, Gamble-free, healthy New Year Vera

Please consider a cyber fork well and truly stuck it in

Many happy returns, Velvet.
A fork with a long prong will do the trick!!

Vera, just so you know In group earlier I was not suggesting that you be responsible for anyone else’s recovery. I just meant that you going back to gambling has kept you from going back to the GA meeting you used to go to. You should not care what anyone may or may not think. It’s about you not them. (Besides i can not imagine them thinking any less of you.)

[vera]

There WAS a time, Jen that I felt I WAS responsible not just for everyones’ recovery but for everyones’ Life!
I thought I was the Manager of The Human Race.
I’m not.
I’m only a speck in the Big Plan called Life.
