Doing better
It's thursday evening, I'm home and doing better from my mini meltdown. It's weird how I could go 59 days without gambling, feeling so good about it and then POW -- I go back one time and it's like I'm hooked all over again. I have heard horror stories about people relapsing and sinking further than before. I believe it....
Been reading journals and doing yard work to keep busy. Tomorrow I am going to buy flowers and potting soil --- gonna spend my money on something productive.
My youngest turns 14 saturday, but we celebrated last weekend. We went shopping in two different towns and hit a LOT of stores. Clothes, clothes and more clothes.
Hope everyone is doing great and enjoying the warmth and beauty of spring. I love spring, its my favorite season. I always feel like everything is new and fresh. A new start........

I\'m so glad you\'re feeling better!! It truly helps to fight of the urges. Keeping busy and spending money on productive things.... good move!! Just think when you look at those flowers you can be proud that it was money not wasted on gambling! Keep up the good work sweetie!!! Peace and Love. Patty
It is soooo true about how you can get right back into gambling after a lot of clean time! If this recovery business was easy, we wouldn\'t need each other at this site. Glad you are feeling better....hugs, Dianne
