Yesterday, I was able to receive my pay one day early which allowed me to pay off the NSF cheque. WHAT A RELIEF!!! Then when I got home, my income tax refund cheque was in the mail. I would have been broke for the next week or so after I paid off the NSF. So I silently and happily thanked God for sending this relief. I wasn't sure if or when a tax refund was going to be sent. When it did show up yesterday, I took it as a sign from above that I am given another chance to get sober.
Today is Day 8 of No Gambling. My first goal is to make it to 14 days. It is hard because the urges get strong on and off. Especially when I am broke and need money to pay for bills, etc. My mind starts thinking that I should gamble what I have and hope that I win something. That pull is strong!
I have no real plans this weekend other than be with my baby girl. My partner is working through most of it.
Thanks for reading.
