Day 34... weekend time

I've spent a lot of time this morning on the site, reading people's posts.  Really puts things in perspective.  My husband is gone today to an event - last night we chatted about what I was going to be doing.  (Saturday of course was one of my gambling days).  He said - please whatever you do, don't go to the casino!)  I said - I am NOT going to go . . . please promise me  . . . I will promise you I will not go!  And I WON'T- - -I have more trust in that this time than before, but we can never get too sure and take this monster for granted.  We talked about how he has always been so sure he didn't like gambling or those places, and that me - on the other hand - have had to go through this kind of "journey" to discover that I shouldn't be there. :] People's paths are so different.  I'm thankful that now I can be open with him and move on with life.
 I don't know how long I will continue to journal like this, but I am enjoying making the "daily report".  Plus - I can look back from time to time to see how far I have come.
Have a great day, everyone.  Today I will take a long walk, have lunch with a friend, and do a little shopping - there is lots of life left after casinos...
