I just went back and counted up it's 102 days for me! Man, time flies when you're not gambling.
I'll be checking up on everyone as the day goes on. I can't spend too much time on the computer since I was 3 hours late for work. I wasn't going out this morning till the sun melted some snow and ice.
I'll be back later.

I haven't written a JE in about a week. I haven't even read anyone else's. Today I caught up with most of them and found out that I never want to be without my friends here for that long again.
Yes, the reason was because I had gambled last week again. I went last Tuesday and then again on Friday. Even though I only lost about $120 over the two days, whic...1 Recommendation8 Comments -
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who responded to my previous journal! Everyone gave me some great advice, and helped me to make my decision.

swirling through me or to get back into the "poor me" cycle that I
was in two years ago.
I'm not sure whether I have shared with you all the fact that my
husband was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in June of 2006. It was
