Today

Today I will not gamble.
Today I will be present in my life, and not the artificial, contrived come hither environment of the casino.
Today I will come to the spring when I feel thirsty for encouraging thoughts and positive messages.
Today I will take care of some of the business I have neglected due to my thoughts being focused on gambling, and on NOT gambling.
Today I will not take a nap.
Today I will try to forgive myself a little bit more. I know that if it were my husband, or child, or parent or friend that had done this that I would forgive them.
Today I will build and not destroy.
Today I will be thankful that my addiction requires effort to get there, instead of effort to stay away. Liquor stores are on every corner, supermarkets too, the casino is not in my sights.
Today I will be thankful for all the caring and accepting and straight shooting people here at DS and SH.
Today I will lay out my clothes to go somewhere tomorrow, but it will be to GA at 630pm instead of the casino at 930am.
Today I will give thanks for everything that is good in my life, and there is much to be thankful for: good health, great husband and kids, good job, loving family, food in the fridge and non gambling friends.
Today I won't gamble.
