Alcoholism Support Group
Alcoholism is the continued consumption of alcoholic beverages, even when it is negatively affecting your health, work, relationships and life. If you think alcohol is causing you to lose control, it's time to seek help. Our group is a safe place to vent, check in, get back up if you fall, and reach sobriety.
Sitting here at work, Friday afternoon. getting off in 15 minutes. I have had a very stressful week.. what I really want to do it just go to the gameroom and push buttons for a few hours and smoke cigarettes and just be mindless..
but i know when i walk out of there 100-200 dollars lighter, i will not be a happy camper.. my husband likes to go gambling too.. we feed each others weakness.. i don't understand why i feel the strong desire to do something i know i will regret.. evn if we hit a jackpot, that just means we will get to play longer.. the only way we come home with money is if they close and we still haven't lost it all. I guess that is a good thing, that the gamerooms do close.. casinos don't.. atleast not the ones i have been to. we are staying away from casinos!! that always costs us 1000's. no way. but the gamerooms..
my oh my
what's a girl to do. not wanting to drink, not wanting to gamble..
it seems like all the things i like to do i am having to give up because they are bad for me and not part of God's master plan for my life...

also, I use to drink & drug while there... I have tried to play those stupid machines sober and it is just not the same... I have had to drag my husband off of a few, and we don't even wanna talk about our trip to Atlantic City last year. Sober Gambling is just not fun!!
Go to a gamblers anonymous meeting
There is a big difference between feeling you have to give things up and wanting to give them up.
It wasnt until I really wanted things to change that I had the willingness to do something different.
While I felt i had to give them up because I should - I couldnt find willingness to do anything different and got very resentful at the same time.
I will be thinking of you and hoping the desire and willingness come soon.
i didn't go tonite and i don't even want to drink at all.. no desire. man i would love to fell like this everyday..
It will get easier as the day's go by,,,
