I did it again

I did it again, and I have no excuse, I just thought I could win and pay off some bills, instead I LOST, why do I do this, I wish I had the answer, I am so embarrased and I should not be commenting on anyone's journal, I can;t even help myself, how can I help anyone else. I am a failure, at least I feel like one. I am going to a real G.A. meeting, I will go on Wednesday to one, and stand up there, hi my name is Mindy and I am a gambler, maybe I will feel better. I will start all over again, day 1 tomorrow. No more, I can't deal with this crap anymore. I just dig a deeper hole and I am stuck in it. I guess I should go to bed now since I have work, I did not do any school work or anything, I guess doing over the weekend will keep me busy, my brothers girlfriend wants me to come over after work, but you know what, I need to tell her no, I just want to be left alone, my husband will be working and she does not even think I gamble, I am such a liar to mostly everyone, I can't even fess up to my husband anymore, I guess some things are better left unsaid for now anyway, he is right though why go to school and major in business management, when I do this, I feel like I will never be normal, I go to work to pay off this debt on which I create, and just make things worse. Sorry for venting to everyone, but I just can't take it anymore. I will say goodnight and tomorrow is another day.  Hugs, Mindy

Oh Mindy - I am sorry for your pain and what you are going through.. I know how tough it is. I would just want to shut my eyes and blink it all away like I Dream of Jeannie... But you and I both know that doesn\'t work.. unfortunately.. But you can move on and forget about the slip and focus on your recovery.. it does not help to beat yourself up and please do not even think about stopping to comment on journals.. What would I do without your comments.. That is just silly - but I know what you mean and how you feel about that.. but just think.. if we all stopped commmenting on journals when we slipped, these journal pages would be pretty damn empty!!! That is how we learn from others.. and I have learned something from you this morning.. Please stay postive - at least for today - one day at a time.. Maybe being alone is not the best thing for you.. I am here if you need me.. I will keep my computer up today.. just cleaning and doing laundry -but thinking of you and hoping you feel a little better this morning. HUGS

I\'m so sorry that the demons got you. I know that you have heard this before but it deserves repeating... It\'s going to work out. Just pick yourself up and dust yourself off, raise your chin high and live today for today. Take my hand and I will walk this road of recovery with you. Commenting on journals is a great way to stay focus, please contiune. I\'m here and I\'m sending my prayers for peace and strength. Peace and LOve, Patty
