DAY 79
Things going well - - -as I just wrote to someone, as GF days mount, it's hard to think about going back to Day 1 again...would HATE that feeling!
There was a day this week where all I could think about in my head was the times I had big wins and the feeling of seeing those winning credits/$$ on the screen... I mentioned it to my husband . . .he said he thought I should take up something competitive, where I could feel like I'm "winning". Of course, without gambling, I do feel like I'm winning every day, but I do know what he means.
The other side of that whole thought process of course is LOSING - - - and/or putting my winnings right back into the machine.
I guess it's normal to have thoughts about the past . . . as long as I don't act on them.
Take care everyone,

I am 18 mo. gf and hardly ever have the thoughts. Can go and watch my dtr gamble and it doesn\'t bother me but other day, in the bathtub the thought came to me, wouldn\'t it be fun to go one evening and just play a hundred dllrs? Then I answered myself. Barb you can\'t stop at 100. You would lose all you have and then some and be back to square one. I could never stop even when I won. Nope that is out of the question.
Hi Barb - nice to hear from you! Congratulations on 18 months - wow!!! I\'m proud of you - I know what you mean - if we only knew we\'d be able to stop, but it\'s not worth taking the chance.
Take care,
