    So much has gone wrong for me lately with my work. I had a huge sale that I lined up in October of last year that looks like has backed out. They were supposed to take delivery this last week which is a loss of just over $30000. I will be really struggling to pay my bills. I’ve been staying away from gambling the last couple of months pretty good sheer self control.
    Yesterday I decided to try a game which was a mistake. I spent money I can’t afford. I had two accounts open. I promised myself if I slip the accounts are gone I closed the two this morning. I felt like crying when I closed the one I had it for several years. I self excluded from it for three years. I did go back but more responsibly I’d say.
    But no money spent on gambling is best. I have a sense of pride instead of shame not gambling.
    So today I turn another page.
    I think of everyone here often and I wish the best for all. One day at a time. I learn from my mistakes and move forward. I do feel regret but that’s not going to help me. I’ll brush that off and move forward.

    • So sorry about your work that fell through.. hoping something comes up for you. This addiction really messes us up with our feelings … We internalize and we are so disappointed if we relapse . You are and have been such an encourager for others… know that there are many who care for you as well. Put the past behind and move forward… I know you will… take heart and take care.. Lindy

      • Hi Lindy
        Thank you for your kind thoughts. I keep hope something will turn up. Or the person taking my product will get a contract. Things fell through for him but in reality he should have let me know sooner so I had a different opportunity.
        I’ll post if there’s a turnaround.
        In the mean time gamble free and it looks like it will be a nice day!

    • I am so sorry. I hope that things at work turn around quickly for you!
