day 21
three weeks!
Pay day is Wednesday. It will be another hurdle.
I can't believe I am working towards my first month.
I have treated myself to some skin care products
some of my very favorite indian incense that smells subtle and lovely and has singular notes and is not at all obnoxious.
I just ordered some of my favorite perfume online. I got some beautiful candles and hand soap
and all of that was about what I usually spend in 2 sessions at the casino. Plus we had so much more house money and it stretched for ever.
I have access to the house money now and have not been tempted to use it for gambling. I have been very accountable and honest and instead am just really communicating with Dean about my expenditure and things have been going really well so far with no gambling.
I hope it continues. I just renew my commitment each day. In tough moments each hour or moment. I come to DS each day and really am grateful to my friends and the people who share so openly here.
Now to recover. I am still very fatigued.

I\'m so happy for you and impressed by your progress! You are an inspiration! I\'m imagining the sweet gentle smell of that incense by your description. I\'m going to take a page from your book and buy something with my 20 the next time I feel compelled to donate to the casino. Feel better soon! Get some rest! Hugs! Cher
So sorry to hear you have mono. Please take care of yourself!! Be sure to put your safeguards in place for Wednesday and you will do well! So proud of your progress!!!
