Hi Everyone

Not too much action going on in our little group here. I sure do understand. It's hard to get to everything in one day. I've been spending more time in the regular discussions. Sometimes I feel like not too many others are there, either. But still, I'm here, and you're here. No gambling urges. But I sure am suffering from urges to over eat! Dang, dang, dang...gotta' eat! Since I quit smoking it has really been a battle. I know this is a gambling site, for gamblers. I've joined the smokers group, too. But, like I've said before, this is my home. I don't know what I would've done if the urges to get back out there and gambler were as strong as my urges to smoke. Almost 8 months and not a day has gone by that I haven't had an urge. But I am encouraged more than ever! I know what I have to do. It's not easy, but it's do-able. I kind of feel like my recovery has poured over into all areas of my life. If I can stay gambling free, I can live a better life. I like that fact :) I love living life one day at a time, instead of lost in my past, or dwelling on my future. Did my stomach just growl! It did :p It just has to get smaller before I can look at food through "normal" eyes! Did I just type that?! OMG, it feels so true! Growl on belly! Dinner will be pretty soon! Where am I going with this topic!? I'm kinda' talking my way through a craving to give in to my goodie desires! Not today. And not today will I gamble! What kind of sentence was that! Maybe I'm starving my poor ol' brain, too! LOL - it's okay, you can laugh with me ;)

    Hi Robin! I think that activity on this site waxes and wanes....and seems there is less going on right now than usual. A lot of us that have been here for a while now do not journal every day or every other like we used to...I guess a lot of the drama in our lives has gone away, and life is not as difficult as it was in the immediate aftermath of gambling!!

    I hear you on the urges...I have been told smoking is as difficult an addiction...if not more so, than heroin.

    So proud of you that you didn't let your little butt incident become a major return to smoking! YAAAAY for you for keeping it contained...

    I have decided I have to get serious and lose the weight I have put on since giving up gambling...I want to be healthier so I can enjoy life even more...

    Love ya, Dianne
