Hi Kin
Lovely to hear from you. I will catch up on your thread soon. I can guarantee you I am no angel! I have just been for chemo and shared an ambulance back with a young woman who has had a liver transplant and has also been through the mill. There is always someone having a difficult time in life and the lesson is to count one’s blessings. If you are alive and have your health, you are blessed. You can always rebuild your life from that first step, day 1 although you don’t (well I don’t) want to repeat too many day 1s stuck on the gambling roundabout.
Because I am terminally ill creditors from the past which are some big numbers don’t bother me. Financially, I am ok as my work covered my pay, in part, whilst I was very I’ll. i gave up gambling and smoking and then got 2 terminal illnesses. So much for life getting better. Not in my case! Some folks get all the luck don’t they?
I still spend money on computer games but only a few pounds here and there. I can honestly say I just don’t want to gamble. I succeeded in stopping smoking when i got sick after 40 odd years. The next will be not to rely on OxyContin for pain which I have to at the moment. I ran out and haven’t haD any for two days. I have only been on it for three months and boy did I notice. Withdrawals already, emotions coming up like a submarine surfacing. I don’t like being addicted to anything, and seem to have an addictive nature. I have given up all addictions so the painkiller will be next.
