100 DAYS !!!!
I just realized today is day 100 in my recovery....I don't know if that is supposed to be a milestone, but it is for me.....especially since I have no urges or thoughts desiring gambling today.....I feel rather peaceful about it......that is nice....peace is not something I experienced much of for the last few years.....thank you thank you thank you my beautiful friends.....you have helped to give me this gift of recovery. I think I'm transferring my addiction to gambling to an addiction to this site, as I visit here multiple times every day, and am starting to chat online quite a bit......You know what????? I prefer this addiction hands down! It does nothing but good for me (except for ticking off my BF...LOL)....maybe some day I won't need to check in as much, but it is still worth the time if it keeps me from gambling or some other self-destructive activity I could replace it with. Much love to everyone here....Dianne

100 100 100 100 100 100 hmmmmmm this was yesterday\'s entry....sooooo 101 101 101 101 101 good for you!!!
I was online in safe harbor chat room about 14-16 hours a day for MONTHS...I kept doing that...until I didn\'t need to any more :) and STILL...I go thru stages where I need it more than others.
all I know is...THIS way...I have my LIFE..and I have JOY....if I DON\'T come here when I need to (take care of me)...I could end up back in desperation....
and...this isn\'t PUNISHMENT....I ENJOY this...so...it\'s a no-brainer for me :)
love ya
