I would like to thank everyone who commented on Journal. I did stay gambling free today, and I feel pretty good about it, but one day at a time. I will write in this journal everyday and I will try to beat this evil addiction. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I can't really write alot tonight. I want to thank everyone for your advice. I hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I won't really have much of a weekend, I have only have one day off this week, so I know I will be busy, too busy so I hope to stay GF this weekend. Take care everyone.

It\'s good to be busy...busy being busy not busy gambling. Well done to you today. I am so proud of you. It\'s good to take thigns slowly. It\'s the only way. Thinking one day at a time..hugs
Hang in there girl. It\'s all in our mind set. It\'s tough as hell to battle all of our debts now that we\'ve been drowning in due to our gambling addiction. I feel there are only three ways to come out ahead financially-#1 work really hard and stay focused to acheive your goals, #2 inheiret a ton of money from some rich Aunt or what have you, or #3 gamble. Well, I know #2 isn\'t going to happen for me(Everyone I know in my family are struggling like everyone else) and #3 definitely has been an unsuccessful and devastating story for me, so I am opting for choice #1-hard work!!! We\'ll get there, but will not if we continue to gamble away our hard earned money. And it\'s not only the money, it\'s our over-all mental health state as well. Life has so much more offer than spending it day after day, hour after hour in a room full of machines sucking up your money and soul. Hang in there. Enjoy your life and husband. You two sound like you can use a mini getaway or something. Nothing fancy, but just the two of you enjoying one another. Take care.
You will succeed, stay strong, think positive, do not lisen to your sub concious saying its ok to gamble, the demon will try anything to get you on those machines. Just one day at a time, it is a struggle but you can do this. Stay GF just for today, hugs
