I am scared. i am so afraid of what will happen to my life if I cant stop. If my husband discovers who i really am. if I loose everything. Mostly i am afraid of hurting my husband.

I am so ...

Well I am on my second day, I am feeling ok, just a little annoyed but I guess that is to be expected, I will take one hour at a time and drink lots of water, and after work I will go to the gym and do a serious workout, the last thing I need is weight gain. Everyone have a GF and a smoke free if trying to quit.
Hugs,

13 hours til my court date. I have spent the week preparing. Buying groceries, writing letters, paying bills, PRAYING. It's going to come as a shock if I don't go to jail. BUT-I also know that through GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. I also know he has has plan for each and everyone one of us. We are here for a purpose, and this may be part of His plan for ...1 Recommendation6 Comments

Well, today was a rollercoaster......the beginning of the weekend is always difficult since I used to go to the casino on Saturday or Sunday... anyway, I found myself thinking and thinking about going and going over all of the reasons why I shouldn't even be thinking about it but it was happening. I found that I was talking to a few people that don't realize the truth...1 Recommendation8 Comments

Brand new day. Promised myself I will be optimistic, grateful and try to believe that this too was supposed to happen. Am so tired of the new beginning, but must accept the consequences of my behavior. Am glad for this site as it will help me to be more accountable. I am going to look for someone, perhaps a trustee at the bank, to manage my money. Take it away from m...1 Recommendation5 Comments

I am a gambling addict and I have a drinking problem. I am not an alcoholic in the sense that I crave alcohol and have to drink, I am what is labeled a "relief drinker." I drink to escape reality and then do stupid things while under the influence. I tell myself I can maintain control with both, but I can't. I drink when I am depressed, which seems to b...1 Recommendation4 Comments

Today has been really rough. Don't know why I keep wishing I wasn't a CG so I could go to the casino to just escape. I'm not sure why I am having this strong urge. Maybe I have been away from this site for too long.
I'm dieting and that might be part of it. You get to feeling sorry for yourself because you can't eat the cake you made that everyone else i...1 Recommendation4 Comments -
It has been about two weeks since my last journal entry and I am feeling pretty much the same. The drive and energy to prosper have not returned. The urge to blow all my money at the casinos has not returned (Thank God). I am occaionally buying lottery tickets, NEVER more than 7 or 8 dollars. It still burns me that my cousin and neighbor who won over a million in the lotte...1 Recommendation6 Comments

Hmmm, feeling really weird last 24 hours, panicky, anxious. Is there withdrawal? I hate this feeling, it is very annoying, hard to breathe. Like butterflies x 1000. What is funny is I know if I took the $500 I have in the bank and pressed the buttons on the slots over and over again until it was gone, I'd feel calm again - how weird is that?
Last night I went swimming, ...1 Recommendation3 Comments
