6 Months GF!!!!
Today has been 6 months Gamble Free for me!!! There were a few times that i wanted to just say to hell with it, and go to the casino. I did not give in to the urges.
I really wish I could really go to the casino and just play the machines like a normal person, but I know I am an addict and no matter how much I wish I could just go play for awhile sometimes, for me its all or nothing. Like they say one bet is too many and a thousand is not enough.
Bills are getting caught up and even though theres still stress in life alot of times, I can deal with it now being clean and knowing that the indian mafia didnt get a single penny from me in 6 months. I wish they would all just go bellly up, but that isnt ever going to happen, unfortunately.
All of my DS friends are super amazing and have always been here for me to help me stay focused on my goals. GA has helped too. One important thing that has kept me gf is knowing that if I fail, I will dissappoint myself and everyone I know.
This is long I know, but I am so proud of what Ive accomplished, because 6 months ago, I never thought Id make it to this point, ever!!
Hugs and Love
Lisa

Lisa, forgive my extreme tardiness in saying -Kudos! Way to go, Girlfriend!!! 6 months is so awesome. I love the \"Indian Mafia\" reference. Yeah, it sucks we put all that time and energy into it. The crazy thing it that sometimes we want to do that again! I am so very proud of you and all your accomplishments. We are making it...One day at a time. Love and hugs, ~Estel
