TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY GF!!

Tomorrow marks the 2 yr anniversary for my quitting gambling.... Two years ago, I spent yet another New Year's Eve gambling into early morning, did the walk of shame to the car, dropped off from exhaustion once home and fell into bed....ashamed, afraid, and fed up with myself and the gambling life. Having yet again spent far more than I could "afford", and facing severe consequences for my gambling losses, I decided I would turn my life around.  I refused to allow myself to go near a casino, read book after book, watched movies, and just went to bed early to wait out the "urges"....A couple of weeks later, I found my way here to DS, and found a recovery "home".   I have been so blessed here with support, information, acceptance, and friendship.  It has made all the distance. Although I am far from the "perfect" recovering cg...not always cheerful, not always positive...I sometimes forget to count my blessings.....I still have to work on my attitude and at acceptance.....I am in a far different place than I would have been if I had not quit gambling, and I could not have done it without the wonderful people at this site. Thanks to all of you....and wishing everyone a Wonderful GF New Year!!!!!Big Hugs, Much Love,Dianne
