Day 22 no alcohol and marijuanna. Day 15 of no gambling . Love seeing the days grow, faster than I could have expected

Gambling is not an option today!

Your 7 days not gambling is an awesome winning streak.

My New boss invited me to a concert at a casino. Part of me feels obligated to go to please my new slave master. :laughing:

I opted out. Too far out of my comfort zone in recovery.

We are in the same boat. Except your likely not in as much debt as me. I may need to go consumer proposal route , which sucks, but at least I’m not throwing my pay cheques away anymore.

Thanks Daniela. How is life going for you right now ?

How’s life treating you ?

Hi there Nikki. How was the weekend ? I’m still staying away from gambling and alcohol. But I must admit that I smoked some marijuana this weekend. My wife was okay with it because i didn’t buy a lot. We visited family and that was nice. I’m feeling a little disappointed I went back. But I’m still going strong with no gamble and alcohol. I take great pride in that. :slight_smile:

Hi Deric, you can call me Kelly if you like…yeah im good thank you for asking, sobriety going well, have some life stuff going on (with my mother) lately that’s a bit tough but I guess life doesn’t stop being life cos your sober right? How are things going with you?

Hi Nikki. Your not the only one dealing with and concerned about debt. I’m currently considering consumer proposal to deal with my 30000 of debt. I’ve already created a PC account to have my pay cheque going there, car loan payments and car insurance. I’ve got line of credit and credit cards maxed with cibc and td. Ive decided to stop making minimum payments to have them contact me, see if they will work with me to make a deal and close the credit accounts. I will tell them my plan for consumer proposal if they won’t work with me. It’s definitely a good feeling to know that we have sobriety going for us , and no more throwing money away. It’s a little easier to deal with the stress of debt. I’ve started to exercise and that definitely helps as well.

Let’s have a good work week and take care. Appreciate the positive communication

Hi kelly. I just went to visit family this weekend for a celebration of life dinner for my grandma passing away. She had bad Alzheimer’s and it was a bit of a relief with her passing. It was sad to see her get worse and angrier over the years. I loved seeing family I hadn’t seen in a while. I’ve been making more effort to get closer with my dad and it feels good. It sucks to have loved ones struggling with bad health or even passing away. Makes us value the memories and times together. Hugs to you kelly. Have a good week :sun_with_face:
