Several Visits to Casinos in December

So because I had to fly out to see my family twice in December, I had to walk through the dreadfull machines in the Reno airport.  It was all fine this time because my hussband was with me and he is great moral support.  Although it doesn't do much, I gave the machines the stank eye. LOL!  It made me feel better.  Then after one of the trips, where we had just come back from my niece's funeral, my coworker decided we needed some laughter so she gave us 6 front row tickets to Daniel Tosh at Montbleu.  So yes, I had to walk through the casino to get to the showroom, but I was amongst friends.  No urges and we enjoyed our show.  Then my friends who came in town wanted to go to Gilley's located in the Nugget.  So we walk through another casino to get there.  All is fine as long as I have a large group of friends.  I know I am stronger now that I can push past the machines without an urge to sit down, but I will never enter the establishment alone because I fear what I might do.  Hopefully, I will get to that phase in my life where I can trust myself.  Anyway, just thought  I would share.  I still don't go to casinos alone EVER.
