Thanks for your response babs.. I do agree that I tend to use gambling as a stress reliever. It's something else to focus on. It also fills time as I tend to bore easily. I do have a job - a very busy one at that - and I am also searching for a new job in my field now that I've graduated. That takes up a lot of time. I'm finding as I get older, I bore quickly and easily. Far more than I used to. I'm thinking I need a new hobby, or perhaps I need to do some volunteer work or something when I am not working. I think the more I stay away from my house, the better off I will be. I am hoping to get myself a puppy as a grad gift, and I think that would help a lot! It angers me that with the money I've gambled away I could have had 2 or 3 puppies in the past year. Live and learn I guess...
I do think that I need to deal with the death of my grandma instead of ignoring the fact that it happened...as sick as it sounds, Christmas is helping me do that. Hard to ignore the fact that she isn't here. I think once I've dealt with it, I'll stop looking for something to fill that void (she lived with me and kept me very busy)...
