Hi again!

It has been a couple of days of getting my priorities straight. Gambling has taken so much from our home and has certainly lost its appeal with me.

Reality is...I gradually stopped doing what I needed to do to 'maintain' my sober way of life. Yes, life was tough then but I didn't do what I needed to do for me - I was expecting others to do for me. It was all about me!

So I'm on a waiting list to see a counsellor for me...where this takes me has to be only good. I've also had the priviledge of listening to a young lady who wants to quit drinking. This is helping me re-learn about the 'disease'...amazing how much I have forgotten while I was consumed with gambling.

Thanks for letting me share...do take care!
