After my "slippage" I again have 25 days gf.....I also had my 65th birthday so trying to stick to a plan to have credit cards paid off in 3 years. I don't want to be working until I'm 80!

Slipped....but didn't go back.  I guess that's something to feel ok about.  Just read about Charmed who tried to take her own life.  NOTHING is worth that.  My heart goes out to her.

Haven't been on here lately because I slipped....after 51 days...didn't lose too much but the fact remains I slipped.  I hate to post because everyone is so positive about their recovery and I feel...

Received a notice from a 2nd credit card company that they have lowered my limit due to recent debt.  I do understand they have to do this, but it makes me mad that I have had credit for 40 years...

It's been 43 days since I gambled.  I know I will get through Lent as I have before, but I am very worried about after Easter.  Besides everything else, I simply can't afford to gamble anymore. ...

Paying bills...I get sick when I look at my credit card bills.  I guess I should be glad that I can pay them, but I'm really leaving myself short. Makes me sick when I think what I could have if I...

My nephew (the priest) came to visit me today.  Without going into all the sordid details, I told him I was quitting gambling because I was losing too much money (not a lie!). I felt bad because I...

2 weeks since I gambled....keeping busy is the most important thing for me.  Praying for all of us!

Starting to get more business...the mortgage industry is picking up a bit.  Also picked up work from another source taking pictures of foreclosed properties. Feels good to be busy and making some...

Day 7 gamble free...feeling good.  Weather is beautiful...went for a walk today and now I'm getting ready to go to a zumba class.

Lots of energy...I think it's because of Daylight Savings Time! Also, it's a beautiful day! Some guy (josh somebody) posted about going to Vegas to drink and gamble.  Totally not appropriate for...

Spent time with my sister, brother, nephew and cousins this weekend.  Had a great time. This morning when I was driving home, I got the urge....but Lent and self-exclusion stopped me! I quit smoking...

Going to visit my brother, sister, and nephew - will do "normal" things like going out to eat and just being together. Praying for all of us!

Another Ash Wednesday.  I haven't gambled during Lent in the last 2 years, and with my self-exclusion I feel confident I won't this year.  Trying to do something for my mind, body, and soul this...

Feeling pretty good - though not looking forward to another snowstorm which we are anticipating in a couple days.Not sure how much longer I will be on this site.  I will still keep a journal even if...
