Day 2 cont...
I just need to write this for me! I did it. 2 days GF ( new word for me). I was putting off going to the post office because i knew I had to walk past the venue where I gamble. I parked deliberately in the area in a 1/2 hr parking zone. I walked past the pub, went and posted my letter and treated myself with a latte. I didn't even have to pay for it as i had a free one on my coffee card! Yipee for me. I walked past with my coffee and got in my car. I was tempted yet...but didn't go.
My bank account will be thanking me. ...and my heart
My two kids re home today and one asked if she could go up the road for a treat. It was so nice to go into my wallet and still see money there.

Awesome!! I am so impressed with you, your courage, your positive attitude, your honesty. You are so open, and willing to do the work it's going to take for you to win this fight.
I know what you mean about finding money in that wallet that was always empty. Feels pretty good, eh? The best is yet to come. One day at a time, a bit each day, things have gotten better and better for me, often in ways I had never even considered or expected. I had not realized how badly gambling had damaged me inside, but today, I heal, and life regains its wonder, joy, and promise. I am so glad you found us, keep coming back, my friend

Good job! I'm so proud of you to be able to walk past your "old" playing area. You have got the right frame of mind. I bet you feel so good about being able to give your little one the money for the treat instead of having to tell her no. It's amazing the little things we notice 1st. Keep up the great work and stay strong. Peace and Love. Patty

WAY TO GO! you so did the right thing. I know how much it took to just keep right on walking, but that just shows what inner strength you have. You can do this, and you are on your way....just keep things simple, stay in today, and keep smiling.
Hugs and love

just remember, the only thing we have to fear is fear itself....F=false E=expectations A=appearing R=real. That is what the demons are counting on, don't give them the satisfaction. The more time you have that you are GF, the better life gets. Its not always a bed of roses, but it sure beats the alternative of how we felt when we were actively gambling.
