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...

I promised myself that I would write in my journal more --- so here goes!   I am GF today and have been since last year!!!  Sounds good, huh?  Ok, 12-31-09 was my last day to gamble --- and this...

One Day @ a time...   I just don't get it.  I would like to say that one day I will "get it".  But I really dont want to wait for that one day to happen.  How do you do it?  I admit, I cant do...

My heart says/feels one thing, my actions speaks another story. A story that I wish I could rewrite. But I cant. I have to live with the story I chose to write. However, the next chapter has not...

Woke up this morning with a pounding headache --- and a nightmare.  I dreamed that me and my Mom went to the casino and I hit a jackpot on the first machine I played.  I didnt know how much I won,...

Continue to be gamble free.  Cant gamble -- I have Alex.  Dont want to gamble.  Do not have the urge to gamble.  But........ I cant quit thinking about gambling.  It is just consuming my mind. ...

The weekend is upon us... Yea!  Alex will be back home tomorrow for 5 days and I am so glad.  I know I cant use her as a tool, but she is like a hammer in my gamble free tool box.  i dont go...
