Rsmithma...
Today is the first day of many GF days ahead. If we don't have hope then we have nothing. I was gf for over 9 months and its taken me that long to finally realize that I can't live like this anymore.Gambling SUCKS..It sucks your life away little by little. But, you and I are so much stronger than our addictions. It's Day 1 on your gf journey to a better life!! It's my day 6. We can all do this together!!!
Love and Hugs Lisa
