…is priceless, I-D-I.
I have come to the conclusion that the stress of mental addition, subtraction, calculating money, projecting figures , planning the next “round”, avoiding company, cooking slap dash meals, rushing to get rid of friends and family as fast as possible and trying to figure out the next loan, are far more damaging than the actual act of gambling. All this chaos causes serious mental distress.
When we write “Peace and joy” on the Christmas cards we send, we need to remind ourselves that gambling robs us of those two priceless possessions.
When we gamble we can kiss goodbye to both.
So glad to hear you have reversed your situation and that you are enjoying the simple life.
Humility plays a huge part in recovery.
Be proud of your great progress!
