Thank you (((P))) for your kind post. I have to confess to gambling yesterday. Why did I gamble? Because I am a compulsive gambler, have a lot of stress in my life with my relationship with Danny, and have been working a lot on my property and perhaps felt that I needed a “reward”. I don’t feel good about myself, and feel even worse after I’ve gambled. I can’t pinpoint any exact reason why I gambled. I had renters money in cash in an envelope on the counter and asked Danny if he would deposit it in the bank on his way back to work and he said no. That is like leaving a drink in front of an alcoholic and expecting them not to drink it. Maybe I felt unsupported in managing my addiction and that gave me the green light to gamble. It is what it is, and today I will not gamble. Carole
