Today is now Day 10 of No Gambling. I find that weekends are hard. The urge to go to the casino once baby is asleep for the night is strong, with my partner at home with her of course. Luckily he has been busy working so there is no choice but to stay home with her. I received my income tax refund on Thursday and that was such a huge relief. I was able to pay a couple of bills and stock up on groceries. I still have over $200 in my bank account and I have often thought of trying "only $20" in the slot machines whenever I can sneak away. But I know that if I don't win, I get angry and would keep trying until something comes. I could end up spending the rest of my money for that to happen.
I pray that I can continue to stay away from gambling. People are right in saying that the first while is tough.

Good for you, be strong, don't take a $20 to the casino. Be happy you've got some bills paid and have a few bucks in the bank. Draw on how good that feels and remind yourself how horrible it feels when you lose all your $$$$ ...... Wishing you the best from BC
