Day 53 Gamble Free, it’s still kinda early in the day, but I have no intentions of going.
Headed to go put a few miles in sound the lake.

“One day at a time!”

Day 52 Gamble Free, very thankful.

I try to stay and think positive, but then I read someone’s journal just to see how easy it is to start back gambling after being gamble free after months/years. Honestly, that is so scary…
It has been such a good feeling to not have to ask anyone for money; also, I have been able to enjoy my family without trying to think of a way to get out the house to run and play. I am not feeling the urges that I really need to play. (So thankful)

“One day at a time.”

Day 49 Gamble Free
The family Christmas Eve party/ gathering was nice this evening.
Honestly, nothing gives you that excitement that playing slots give you. No worries, I have no intention of playing, just my thought at the moment.
Looking forward to waking up Christmas morning to open gifts with the family. Yessss, I was able to purchase some gifts this year, with my own money (not my husband’s money).
Yes, we had to separate our funds because I was losing more than I was bringing in, plus some.

One day at a time!

Staying gamble free one day at a time….
Blessings?

Hello RisingPhoenix

Thank you! and congratulations on your 40 days of being gamble free.
I was pretty nervous about having 2 weeks of down time, but the kids are leaving later today and my daughter arrived today and she’s here until after Christmas. My daughter does not gamble so she will keep me busy doing other things another few days.

I can not believe I am on day 47, but “very thankful.”
“One day at a time…”

Good Evening,
Just checking in after spending the day with the grands. We made a big batch of Christmas cupcakes and I must admit that they tasted pretty good. Now we are watching kid friend shows.

I was really nervous about having too many free days, so I decided to invite the little ones over for a few days. When I tell you I am so serious about staying gamble free. Even if it means hearing noisy children all day. Those noisy babies kept me Gamble Free one more day.(smiles)

Well, I just wanted to check in, I am still taking it “One day at a time.”

Day 46, Another gamble free day.

Day 45 Gamble Free
One Day at a Time…..

Hi CraigMac6,
Congratulations on taking your first step to recovery.
“One day at a time…”

When I think about how I handled that call, I am so proud of myself. Especially with this being such a boring day. There was a time if I wasn’t already there, I would be trying to get there.

It’s a chose, and “I choose to stay gamble free.”

[Cruising247]

Good evening,
Still taking it one day at a time. But, as I sit here a little bored on this rainy Sunday I am missing the “excitement” of winning. I really miss the games/slots. But thennn, I think about the feeling I would feel when I would lose all the money i had in my purse/pocket, my accounts and on my cards (the feeling of ashame, extremely stressed, sad, humiliated, out of control, and the list goes on and on). That thought is enough to remind me why I stopped.
I received a call from my Aunt this afternoon telling me that my cousin had won a decent amount online, I quickly stopped her and reminded her I had stopped all gambling. It’s something about hearing about some one winning that makes you want to go try your luck. But, instead I stopped the conversation, so I would not start to feel tempted.

Day 44 Gamble Free,
“One day at a time”

[Cruising247]

You are so welcome Relapseking!
Congrats on your 3 days of being gamble free. “Each day” is an accomplishment.

Day 43 gamble free, “One day at a time.”
