MY DISEASE IS STILL WITH ME!

I can tell, because I'll get thoughts in my head while doing activities that normally led to the casino.  Getting in my car to drive home from work, which is late at night, I think... now for the nightcap.  A little relaxing time at the slots.  Uh oh, I don't do that anymore.

It was a fun thing for me to do except for the going home part when I had no money.  My brain always ignored that fact when starting my fun habit.  What now?

Well, I'm still working on rearranging the house and getting the Christmas put away.  It turns out that the garage needs immediate attention because the automatic door malfunctioned and I didn't happen to notice so...I ran into the dang thing while exiting.  Everything needs to be moved to allow the new one to be installed. Might as well do a lot of housekeeping out there too.

Back when I was ruining my life by playing slots, my daughter told me that if I stop gambling good things could begin to happen for me.  She was right.  Stopping that money leak helped the family finances and we can buy the new door.  My husband said anyone can have an accident.

Let's review what would have been said if I had spent the $1000 at the casino.  "What were you thinking?"  "Last month your losses totaled that much.  When will it stop?"  "When you are in jail?"  "I don't want to live with a liar".   "How did you get the money this time?"  "Don't tell me you got another car loan".

Yes indeed, my daughter was right!
