Day 23 - yay!
No urges yet - I am so happy about that. Thank you for your encouragement - I do think it would probably be better to say I have quit gambling, Barb. I think the thing that holds me back is that if I didn't succeed, I would not only disappoint myself but friends as well. I understand your point, though. I think as the days mount up, it will be easier for me... who knows why we have feelings of discomfort sometimes, I think it's just that I've failed so many times; it would again be so disappointing.
Thanks for the support - - - -odaat!

Yes odaat and don\'t doubt yourself for one minute.
Thank you soooo much!! SG
yep, doing it ODAAT is the only way to go...forward progress, even if it\'s one minute forward at a time........you can do this, look how far you have come. No doubting yourself, just work thru the problem at hand and move on to the next............being overwhelmed by things was a huge trigger for me, and I have to remember that even now................
23 days and you are doing fantastic. Huge Congratulations. I was also afraid to tell anyone that I had \"quit gambling\" because I was afraid that I couldn\'t do it. But, We are Doing It. One Day at a Time, Yes that is how it\'s done. Hugs, Lily
