Gamble Free to be Me.....
I have actually made it past the 30 day hump, the one month bump. And it feels good. I just gotta be careful and keep my work up, not get lax in my recovery. Not feed my ego and let it start thinking that I have this thing "whooped". Because I dont, no where near it. I have probably just scraped the surface off the "to do" list of recovery. I know that I need to work on my character defects. Heck, the first thing I gotta do is identify them. Then I will work on them. I have a start though. A new beginning. A chance to move forward in the future, not backslide deeper into the abyss. I have stopped the bleeding...... Now it's time to start healing. Hope that everyone out there who is struggling will come to know that they are not alone. And that they dont have to do this on their own. Rephrase that... that they cant do this on their own. Ask for help.... from your HP, your friends here @ DS or your friends/family at home. Trust me... it makes the journey a heck of a lot easier when you put your pride on the shelf and ask for help!!!

Gee, I am so impressed with your progress Shelia. Not just the one month hump, which is humongous, but your attitude and reaching out for more solutions. You inspire me girl and I am sure everyone else on DS. You shine like a star and I am so glad to call you friend. Hugs Barb
I know what you mean to identify your other defects. My goal is a gamble free, fulfilling and purposeful life. With so many honest, smart and caring people here, I know it is going to be an exciting journey. The key is to finally get the concept of living in the now. Best wishes.
