I have not written a journal in a while, so time to catch up. January 3rd was my 6 month gambling free milepost, and frankly...life is good, really good. While there are numbers to prove how much...

Its been a while since I posted a journal entry, basically due to doing well, keeping busy and gambling free! Just a couple more days, and it will officially be 5 months gambling free. So...

Nearing the end of Day #132 and feeling good, and I mean REALLY good...and I mean if from the bottom of my heart...really good. The business I own is currently doing really well, I think in...

Day 115 completed and working on the next. I feel a bit like Dori in Finding Nemo "just keep swimming, just keep swimming". Lots of positive changes, business is growing again because I'm putting...

Kept myself busy, focused on things to do OTHER than wasting my time in front of a slot machine...and made it through the day. Tally mark tonight! I do know that it may seem a bit "easier" at this...

Just as I think it can't get any worse, that I can't get any worse. It does, and I do. I think my optimism about 2013 being a better year, just gave me false hope that I was making some sort of...

I have so much guilt, and each time I separate myself from gambling, start to regain my self-respect, I still think about how much money I have lost, how many things we could have done with that...

Made it 3 1/2 weeks, had some money come in, got stressed about the holidays and spending time with the family, and lost control. Discouraged that I was doing so well, but really feel this was a huge...

It has been 3 weeks. 3 weeks of telling myself I am beating this thing...and also 3 weeks of having NO money. I feel somewhat better, but realize that when financially things start to look up, I...
