thinking thinking thinking - no good

I'm having a rough day today - thinking too much about the casino & going to play.  I know all the "logic" of it of course and I hopefully won't act upon this. . I know exactly where these thoughts are coming from.... my husband is leaving town for a week and in the past that was my time to escape from reality and play the slots.... The funny thing is I just told my brother today that I was not gambling anymore and why hadn't he told me how dumb I was for going so much in the past and was I ever going to get any of the money back, etc., that would be a NO... we were joking about this... seriously, though I think he was proud of me for staying away.  And - here I am entertaining thoughts of straying off the path already.Hope I get through this alive. Take care everyone, Smokeygirl
