Cat, I am glad you started a new pledge for February. I noticed there weren’t a lot who posted on the January pledge thread. I hesitated to participate in February myself because there is this piece of me that doesn’t think I can make it through the entire month. So why pledge something I don’t believe I can do? Or, to be honest, really want to do. Then in the past, by working recovery or more like it…the Grace of God, I make it through the middle of the month. I think to myself, “Maybe I can make it through the rest of the month.” or…I gamble. Then, by the Grace of God, I say to myself, “You gambled . The rest of the month can still be gamble-free” I used to think, “You gambled…you blew it…you said you would never gamble again…you just did…you are such a loser…what’s the use…you will never change.” …and so, I continue to gamble. I may not be able to pledge to a gamble-free life but, I’ve been down that road, and I don’t want to go down there again. So, I pledge to a gamble-free day in hopes of making it through another month gamble free! My prayer for us all!
