Thanks Larry & Cat for your words of encouragement, it’s kind of scary thinking you can never gamble again, like not even to have fun.
Gambling is not fun because I chase losses, I have to reverse this negative effect on my life as it has also affected my family – my daughter has been turning down some invites from friends because she knows I don’t have much money that day or week.
I got really worked up over that and made her promise that she ***** to ask me first as her ***** and wants are going to be a priority for me – she is going to go to a 6 week art course for only $ 40 and equipment is included, how cheap is that ?
$ 40 on the slots would have been gone pretty quickly if not winning, she is getting great value and worth from that money, an investment in my daughter, she is quite good at painting as she has been teaching herself from you tube.
She is also going to have a horse riding lesson every month as well, I found a place that is alot cheaper than the place we used to go to – so pretty happy about that.
In the CG side I still have not gambled but had no money today so not to hard to not gamble. Will be payed in a couple of days – I have done a budget and it seems like there are always so money outgoings, I guess when I pay off my loan, hopefully at the end of year I will see things differently – I’m going to pay down my loan aggressively I’ve decided – so sick of debt !
I hoping to be able to squeeze at night out with hubby in this week’s budget as need to get out of the house on the weekends – cabin fever !
So let’s see, 11 days of not gambling , I get scared ******** the days as it kind of feels like a countdown to a bust – a weird logic I know : )
Alos, I went for a half an hour power walk with my daughter today as tring to lose weight – aiming for 8 kilo
See you
