Still working it....
Most important thing first --- I am still gamble free! Hard to believe i've almost went a month without going to the casino. Almost got pulled into one yesterday --- Had to take my daughter some money @ work. Guess where she works.... my "used to be favorite" casino. She was on break and wanted me to bring the money to her in the breakroom. I was like --- No way, you come out to the plaza and get it. So... I was about 15 feet from slot machines, but luckily their was a door to block the noise. I didnt want to see or hear those machines. I'm doing good, but not that good. I absolutely love keeping my hard earned money and spending it on things for me and my family, not feeding into those hungry machines. I kinda went a little overboard this weekend on my spending, but oh well, it was for "us" not "them". Life is so much better when I dont gamble, I think I will just stay this way!!!

Oh Shelia, you came so close. Well you knew you were going to the Devils lair and you stood your ground, outside because you knew it was too much of a temptation inside and you knew you could do it or you wouldn\'t have. Proud of you. Yes, like me at the casino gas station. Had I been afraid of being close I would have had her let me off on the corner but we know what we can handle and \"inside\" ain\'t it. At least you spent money on things you see and can use. I buy lots of books now but they are for my mind so I can pass them on when I am feeling more secure. Keep it up and hugs my friend, barb
