It's day two for me again, I feel like I am always starting over, but it's worth it because I am not giving into defeat. The money's woes that gambling has caused me to be in makes me want to run and gamble even more, the whole time thinking "if I just could hit the jackpot, I would be good" that is the type of thinking that got me into this mess in the first place.. I feel depressed and sad...but my kids keep me going because I am not trying to stop for me but for them as well.
I used to talk to my sister about gambling woes and trouble, however she seems to be unavailable.... I used to use her as a sponser and she would give me guidance and Id do the same for her, but it's one sided now..
I tell her not to go or to leave when she's up, or call her a thousand times when she is there or even stay up late at night just to talk to her when she did leave the casino because I knew she would have lost a lot... But when I was there or lost a lot, she'd never answer her phone when I needed her most..I don't blame her for my troubles but I think she should have done for me what I did for her.. It wasn't that she was busy, she claimed that her boyfriend turned off her phone, when she knows I have a problem.. She would ask for me to go and I would decline, and asking several times I'd going know I have issues.. She'd say she wasn't playing only to set at the machine and I would start play myself begging her lets go home and but she as well as I would only leave when the money ran out..
I am a little angry because when I need her she is not there.. When I am going through something she is not there, but I make myself availble if it's late, I am out of town, and work anything because I know support is needed, but I am not being supported...
this will be a test because I am stopping, and I researched the tools and have given them to her like DS, GA... I love my sister but I can't keep making myself available for someone who is not availble for me...
I realize that was one of my triggers that made me go to the casino by myself... That feeling of not being supported and being alone.

Still trying find my way.... Over the weekend I felt as though I was in a daze, trolling around trying to find my way.. Thinking of all the devastation that I have caused despresses me and I feel trapped. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel but the tunnel seems miles away...
I want to stop I will stop, I have made the choice and although it\'s not easy I will get it done
