Back to doing the "work" part

I had a slight meltdown, but now I'm back up and running - doing the work I need to do to stay GF. I'm not going to be into counting the days anymore - just TODAY. It was too much of a huge letdown for me, after all those days, and then to blow it. I am over the emotions associated with allowing it to happen . . and I'm just taking it ONE DAY AT A TIME. Considering where I was 8 months ago, I am still in a much better place and now understand what it takes to overcome this addiction and always be on-guard for triggers and temptations. My positive steps forward haven't gone away - they still count. :]

Hope everyone is doing well!

In my 22months of gamble free, I have fallen down twice and I don\'t kick myself for it. I say, I know I can\'t handle it and try not to go again. One day is all I can count on.
