Lesson learned
So, I made it 23 days gamble free. My husband had the "great" idea to go out and play "just a little". My mind said "This is a REALLY BAD idea" and I told him, "but....I've made it 23 days without gambling..." he replied, "Yeah, but you will be with me the whole time, we will be together, its not like playing by yourself without telling me." Well, today, here we sit BOTH feeling like the biggest losers. He had gone 3 months without playing, and I was just 7 days away from my first month. Lesson learned...listen to myself, trust my own instincts, and stay away from those machines! I refuse to return to the old cycle, and blow it all. I've worked really hard the last 23 days to earn my husbands trust back, and I don't want to lose that. We both have learned a lesson...not to be enablers for each other, but instead hold each other accountable.
