Wow, I havent journaled since April.  Been reading posts & JE's regularly, didnt realize that its been almost 6 months.  I am not worthy.  As usual.I am doing better, but I still have a lot of...

Life is good and I am trying my darnd'est to enjoy every minute of it.  Lot's of stuff going on in my life, but gambling hasnt been one of them.  At least the last two weeks.  Two weeks doesnt...

It's thursday evening, I'm home and doing better from my mini meltdown.  It's weird how I could go 59 days without gambling, feeling so good about it and then POW -- I go back one time and it's like...

Ugg... how I hate counting days.  But I guess that is what this has come to.  I have got to clutch onto something, something that will get me going on the right track.  Something to get this...

If I continue on this path, one of the 3 choices will be all I have left.Prison -- Not an optionInsanity -- I'm working on this nowDeath -- Well, its coming "by reason of insanity" if I dont do...

Well... since Cloris had the courage to come out and admit something that I know was hard to say, I dont want her to be alone - I will too.   I myself gambled saturday.  I dont like what I did,...

This is for those that are struggling, lost and maybe just need a friend right now.  @ home today and watching my "Savage Garden DVD".  This song played and my mind immediately went to DS and how...

Stopped @ the gas station tonight to get ciggies (I know, another bad habit  --- but easy does it, one at a time  ; )       Anyway, I stood there looking at the scratch off tickets and...

Everything happens for a reason... right?  Some things are small, some are big.  Some are tests and some are just little reminders... I happened to be @ my parents this weekend when a family...

Most important thing first --- I am still gamble free!   Hard to believe i've almost went a month without going to the casino.  Almost got pulled into one yesterday --- Had to take my daughter...

Well... I should have known it wouldnt last long (oh, pessimistic attitude that I have).  The urges have hit.  But I'm not going down without a fight!!!  Today, I will make the right choice and...

Today @ work I took an online course covering "Diversity".  I wanted to share what it said about "CHANGE". People tend to negotiate change in four stages: 1.  They DENY the problem exists.2. ...

What a great day.... And I havent really done anything.  The "great" part comes from being satisfied doing "nothing".  It has taken a while to get to this point, but well worth the effort that I...
