Yesterday I was with extreme urge to gamble. I just got paid Friday with some money in the bank. Today literally tried to log onto the online casino app. Good thing there’s a self exclusion in place. I was going crazy …a little later I remembered that one thing I’ve always wanted to do. Jewelry making. It’s a hobby that I want to turn into business. Without hesitation I ordered the materials I needed. It made me excited….I feel alive again. It’s a few hundred of dollars but better than thousands I lost at the casino. So excited that the urges seemed to have diminished. Yay !

Thank you Steve it truly feels awesome !! Now I believe that if we stay long enough from gambling, things get better day by day.! Let’s do this. Let’s fight it and win it! Have a great great evening !!
You just put a big smile on my face yolip!! That is so great!! I want to be your first customer. Could you make me a bracelet? What are my color choices?
Awwww thank you so much Diamond ! It will be my pleasure! I will be making semi precious stone bracelets. I ordered Obsidian, Jade, Garnet and Tiger’s eye.
Oooo!!! Obsidian for sure please!! Thanks!
Awesome Yolip!
That urge is a tough one to overcome but you made it by doing something that you are passionate about. Today, I went to church, spent time with my family and spent the majority of the day doing Uber. I have a regular 9-5 but doing Uber keeps my mind busy and away from gambling. Just made dinner and now relaxing with my lady. Today was a good day!
I hope that your passion for making jewelry turns into the business that you’ve always dreamed of!
Thank you Cjg.. your day sounds awesome too. I’m so happy for us! Gambling made me forget that there is life and happiness outside of it. There are other things in life that can make us feel alive again.. especially our love ones. Keep going.. you got this !
Hi Yolip
That’s so wonderful you turned your urges to gamble into being productive. I am excited for you. I will turn too painting and sketching when I can find the time.
That’s something since I was a child I wanted too do. A neighbor called me the other day to sketch a picture for him for a friend he has seen some of my work and said he knows I’m good. That made me feel awesome. I’ll try and help him out.
Much love sent your way
Hi Serenity, I was thinking about you yesterday because you mentioned this to me last week. That it would help if I turn to what inspires me and find my passion. I woke up this morning still excited and no urge to gamble. You are so totally right. A million thanks to you and much love back your way.
Awe Yolip
I’m so happy for you. Guess what we influence each other. I started an on line painting course today. I can’t tell you how good it feels too hold a paint brush again. I’m not finished my painting is a course on loose painting. Which is something I need. Because I love detail. I think if I can learn too combine the two. I should be able to produce some nice art work. Oh and I’m making chilli today I need too get back at it.
Lots of love hugs.
Oh my Chili sounds so good. I wish I could see your paintings someday. What a gift you have, I could barely draw a stick lol.
