Illegal Glasses for Driving, My Birthday, and other Themes

I have been super busy since coming back from Tahoe....had to start working right away, had to get my driver's license renewed today.  I stayed up late the last couple of nights studying for the written test, only to find out I didn't have to take the test.  LOL.....if anyone wants 5 typewritten pages of DMV crib notes....oh...well California DMV crib notes.....let me know!  LOL....did you know it isn't legal to drive in glasses with temples wide enough to obscure your vision at the sides?Who knew!!! BF is down at the local PBS station doing camara work for a telethon.  I am so happy to see him doing this, because he is sooooo excited about it!  He used to produce cable access programs back in San Diego, and did some camara work on The Young and the Restless...he still watches that soap religiously  LOL.... He is still gambling....and maybe having something in his life he is excited about will help him quit.  He told me again yesterday that he wants to change his life, and try again to quit gambling, so I will support him as best I can.  I know I can't quit for him!   I'm doing OK....I just completed 19 months GF the first of this month.  My birthday is on Sunday....and at one time that would have meant a birthday trip to multiple casinos to collect my birthday goodies from them!  I'm looking forward to another GF birthday again this year! Last night, I took inventory of all my debt.  Since I quit gambling, I have paid it down considerably, but still owe A LOT.  For a minute, I was tempted to just file bankruptcy when I looked at what I still owe...but don't want to do that.  I want to take responsibility for my actions and honor my debts.  I also don't want to mess up the good credit score I now have for seven years!!!!  It will take me YEARS to pay off all my debts, including school loans, credit cards, taxes, etc.....but I WILL DO IT. In a few years, I will be able to say I paid my debts and am free.  It will be great one day to have savings and "financial security".  I look forward to the day I don't feel obligated to work, sick or well....to a day when I can walk away from work if I want. Sigh.......until then, I will work on my attitude, my willingness, and realize recovery is possible.... ONE DAY AT A TIME JUST FOR TODAY, I WILL NOT GAMBLE Love to Everyone......xoxoxoxoxoxoxo
