Almost three months!

Wow, I can't believe it's been almost three months since my last bet!  It feels so good to not be throwing our money away.  I've had some strong urges over the last couple of days, but I did not allow myself to follow through with them.  Instead, I just drove home from work, got into my sweats and stayed home!  This is the first time in over two years that our checking account isn't overdrawn.  Granted, we only have $7 in it, but it is NOT OVERDRAWN!  Things are looking up a little bit with our finances and because of that I can breathe easier.  Still have a long ways to go but I'm working on it.  My husband and I were talking last night and he told me how proud of me he was.  He said he was even thinking about it while he was at work yesterday.  That means the world to me!  Well, busy gamble free day today and the urge is gone for now so I'm off to get the day rollin'.  Hope everyone hangs in there.  It's not easy, but it is so worth it and you know, I don't feel as sad anymore either.

That is wonderful! and for a husband a BIG Att-a-Boy for the encouragement. It means alot coming from someone you love - one thing you can do is journal everyday you do not gamble and then when you feel the urge, read the journal and know that you can do it! Anything, to detour that urge! Stay Strong.. and I hope you have a great Christmas Season.
