Day 5: December 14, 2017

Today was actually a really good day! I had no triggors and no urges to gamble. I even had a few things happen at work which usually would spark depression and would want me to gamble to escape these feelings. I received an opportunity to do a new and interesting project at work and it has been met with gossip and a lot of negative energy at work. I even found out what I thought were friends at work were kind of behind the gossip and negative moods. I am going to continue to take the high road and keep moving on.

I also received another opportunity to help my brother in law invest in bitcoin. He sent me $500. I would be lying if I didnt think about going to the casino and try to double it, but I remember my saying "Any money used for gambling, WILL be lost forever. I DO NOT win in gambling."

So tomorrow is payday and i hope to stay strong when i have a surplus of money.
