Urges were squelched- feel good!

Today I had the urge to go; there are two friends at work that I used to go with; both have now gotten to a point of saying it is NOT worth it; all three of us got addicted and have now acknowledged it.  So.. when I had the urge to go and was actually talking about following through, one had many suggestions of things I could go and do - talk a walk, buy something nice for myself instead, go to the park, etc.,  so I came away with no comrads to go off track with.  Not that that really matters; I've gone alone many times, but it made me feel like if they were going to remain STRONG, so was I.  It is the right thing to do; I have fought this animal for a long time.  I truly do know that I AM A COMPULSIVE GAMBLER... that's the truth; I can't deny it and I have to face the truth, as hard as that is. 
 
I feel good now that I didn't go... hard to do the RIGHT thing and I know I am still SO addicted, BUT it feels good to be STRONG.
 
Take care everyone - let's all remain GF!
