91 DAYS

I reached 90 days yesterday and didn't realize it - - -we had been on vacation and the day had slipped by.  I'm happy to report the 3 month mark.  Occasionally, something will be said that triggers me to think about gambling, particularly slots... for example, we visited my husband's parents and one of the new friends they've made was talking about a group trip being cancelled and she was very disappointed because the trip involved the opportunity to gamble and there is another lady who I hadn't met that likes the slots and plays with the new friend when they go.
There was a lot of joking in the conversation . . . I said to my husband afterwards that her excitement about it made me think of it all over again, but just verbalizing it to my husband for some reason made any urge I had go away.   I have been totally open with him about my feelings and we just spent about 10 days together 24/7, so he's very in tune with what I've gone through to stay away, and the channels my mind goes through as well.  We've had many deep discussions about addiction and I feel closer than ever to him now.
I feel good about accomplishing this and looking forward to the next 90 days gf.
I do notice some very magical things happening and a lot more freedom and openness in our relationship... it's a whole different world out there since I've come out of hiding.  Things are going well and hopefully for everyone else too.
Hugs to all,
