Frustrating Stories

  • I AM A LOSER

    Friday, March 28, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I gambled today after not gambling for so long, I can't believe I did it, I know I can't take it back, but I made a huge mistake. There was no reason for it, I feel dirty and disgusted it for doing it, I am so stupid, I erased all my goals and set up new ones. I need to get my myself together, and get everything back in order again. I will wake up tomorrow and I will not look back. I will...

  • Back to the roller coaster...

    Sunday, April 13, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I guess I would call it sad and frustrating instead of venting, now that I think about it - no, change that to just plain frustrating... It has only been a week and I relented yet again today.  The positive is that I now have figured out why I do it, and I guess that can help me.  Again, for the 100+ time, I acknowledge that I don't have control, which of course I already know....

    Wednesday, April 23, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I have more of my list of 26 things to do finished. I finally faxed over my form to the State Tournament director, who rushed me to send it to him because he was leaving out of state (which is another stress that I didn't need.) 
    My principal came and observed me this morning. That didn't help at all.
    I found out that two of my golfers don't have the required scores to go to the s...

  • Im trapped

    Monday, June 2, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I'm trapped,
    Inside of me is a beautiful, loving gorgeous woman who has never had a chance to be all she could be.  She is trapped inside all of this fat, inside this poor-mentality, inside the negativity that has surrounded me all my life.  And what do i do?  I eat more, I smoke more, I gamble more.  I sabotage myself over and over.
    If only someone who say to me "I lov...

    Tuesday, July 22, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Hello my dear friends.........It's Tuesday morning and I am going to try and write before heading off to bed.  Been home from work for about an hour and trying to catch up with everyone. 
    I have been working so hard on being patient and keeping a positive attitude......right now it seems to be an hour to hour struggle.  On one hand I am obviously grateful that I have been gambl...

  • Slipped after 154 days

    Monday, November 9, 2009 | A Frustrating story

    Not much to say, just that I did it again.  I am making no more promises to anyone including myself.  All I can do is go 1 day at a time.  Thanks for all the support in the past and I hope in the future.  Sorry to let people down
