Thank you Kathryn
It is so good to hear from you!
Today I am 16 weeks gamble-free. I feel so relaxed and content. I had a late breakfast and then watched a silly animated movie with family! It is so nice to be able to relax and not have the relentless wins, losses and counting money churning around my head.
I find myself searching through Groupon and other such sites checking out offers for skin rejuvenation treatments . This may sound trivial to others but is a sure sign “I’m back”!
Four months ago my skin was the least of my worries. Wrinkles are a much nicer focus than gambling losses ! Lol !
This has been the best Christmas I remember for years. One family member was extremely badly behaved but I didn’t take it personally or ruminate on it. I realise I can only be responsible for me. It didn’t spoil a minute of my holiday.
I can’t quite comprehend that the capacity to feel like this was hidden deeply within me. I am feeling deeply blessed and incredibly humbled by the amount of help I have received from so many people.
