9 days
9 days away from a casino, the weekends are the worst for me.Next weekend July 19th I will be attending a car show n shine for classic vehicles, guess where? It's being held in the the parking lot of a casino ... OMG.Please PLEASE let me have the strength and the brains to stay out of the casino.I'm nervous already, and it's a week away. I will need to keep talking to myself all week and keep reminding myself how much better I feel when I'm not gambling.

Just remember you are going for the car show and nothing else. Enjoy the show and leave!
Thank you for your comment Crackle86,
I\'m going to leave my bank card at home and only take enough pocket money for lunch!
I\'m determined to stay strong!!
Your braver than I am.... If I\'m in the parking lot, I\'m in the door. Good idea on the BankCard. You might want to go with a nongambler as well. Don;t let that car show cost you a few hundred bucks----if you know what i mean!!!
Thanks for your comments Shelia. I will be with my husband who is a non gambler. He knows I have an issue gambling and once I start I can\'t stop. I\'ll be giving him my bank card and he will know I mean business. I would stay at home, except this particular show is important to him ... and he wants me to attend. Also, LOL Dog the Bounty Hunter will be there and I want to meet him. I\'m excited to go and enjoy myself at the show, yet, I\'m scared that I\'ll want to go inside the casino and gamble. I\'ve been talking to myself so much about this .. It\'s Wednesday and I feel strong and say \"NO WAY\" .. but Sunday is another day!! I hope you\'ll be here late Sunday or Monday to hear how I do !! I thank you again for you words of care.
