Obsessing over work overtime again


Recommended Posts

Ive been doing vastly better mentally, I did unfortunately have a little setback with my gambling. I played $1500, most of my last check and most of my Christmas bonus. So, I am now counting on more work overtime again after successfully IP banning myself from online casinos, and now I’m freaking out because I didn’t hear back from my scheduling manager again and other workers were put on shifts I asked him about and I’m worrying yet again That they are not going to give me anymore overtime ever again and I will never reach like my $10,000.00 rebuilt by dec 2022, and only max get like $4-5k built up by that time

Are you getting any help with your gambling addiction KC?  It's going to be difficult to overcome your obsession with money when you let it play such a central role in your life and give it such power over you. :(

Yes I have the CBT doctor and he knows and helped me ban myself from the online ones too. But I do need to move on from my issues of being used and gambling too bc I am letting it control myself so much. Even without gambling the $1500 let’s say I would only have $6-7k instead of like $5k or so leftover it’s not a huge thing

I’ve come to a realization that personally I’m probably not going to guaranteed reach exactly $10,000.00 net in one year, maybe but maybe not especially since my relapse a couple weeks ago. But, however, I do know that I’ll net something solid in that time and anyway, it’s okay if it takes maybe a few months to a year longer, as long as you have enough in life, even if it’s a little tighter then you thought. I’m only going to be 30 in July, so if it takes till let’s say Christmas time 2023 to rebuild half of what I gave away, so be it, as long as I have Enough to live and enjoy my life with
