a week week well played. No gambling and no desire too. We did go to the bank but got there late so hubby is closing out the line of credit Monday. What a relief, no money, less likely to even consider the notion to gamble. FG

Take this as an opportunity to rethink things and come back ready to tackle your inner desire to gamble. Its so hard I know but we can’t stop fighting to pick up the pieces of our lives. We are far more valuable then any win at a casino. FG

Thanks I can, I am happy to say that I didn’t gamble tonight.
My hubby showed up and waited for me to finish up my shift and away I went home. Hurray.!!!!
It was great not to even consider it too. FG

tomorrow is Thursday and I will not gamble. My hubby is coming to my place of work. I feel really good about it because it will squash any notion of going to the casino for sure. FG

[female g]

great idea and it will be easy to remember Halloween to mark my Anniversary date. Thanks to Charles for that suggestion. Being that I work nights its not possible for me to participate in a group session at this time but once I do quit working I will get more involved in these other options. FG

so pleased and thankful for your feed back. Thanks so much Vera,Micky,Sad and Ican..
I slept for a total of 12 hrs and woke up to the realization that I am truly blessed and need to realize this every day from here on in.
Vera, I have tested the limits, and I’m amazed at how this man of mine is so willing to love me and support me. I can’t allow this addiction to test these limits ever again. I think I have set it up to not fail again. The biggest struggle I would have was on thursday nights once I had finished my shift at work. So my hubby has set his alarm to go off every thursday night at 1030 pm to come to pick me up and make sure I get myself home. He will sleep early in the evening so he won’t feel sleep deprived for work the following day. An amazing man and a good plan.
Micky thanks!! I take what you said to use Know instead of hopefully. I do know I can never gamble again. I do know I have a wonderfully supportive partner, willing to do what ever he can do to help me with this massive problem of mine. I do know I’m loved. I do know I must quit gambling. I do know that I did not gamble today.
Sad, we didn’t discuss banning yet, I have given it some thought after reading your post and I do think I should. I will wait it out until the xmas break when my hubby can go together during the work week when the key people are available. Until then I will rely on myself and my husband to keep me out of the casino. I am going to see my doctor next month to start 3 sessions of hypnosis and along with the on line sessions I will have this addiction over and done with.
Ican, I can’t have thursday nights with my hubby because I work nights and he works days. But we will have more date nights on the weekends for sure.
I need to be grateful for the good life I have and stop taking chances that could result in loosing everything worth having. That will be my focus from this moment on.
Tonight was a lot of fun . We watched my daughter singing in a band and along with friends we had a blast. My hubby was nothing but kind and sweet to me all night and I was sure to thank him for that. It meant a lot. FG

Can we come back from the brink?? I think so and it sounds like you have responded quickly and positively to this last set back. I too had huge slip and did the same right away. As soon as I woke up from some much needed rest. I fessed up about what I had just done. I hope this will me my last slip on my road to recovery. I hope you will rise above the insanity too. FG

yep I screwed up again . I see my last post and what a difference a few days make. I went to the casino and spent 18 hours throwing away money again. I have had a total of 3 hrs sleep in 36 hrs. Crazy making for sure. I spent 4 thousand and was able to take the block I had on my line of credit. The rest is history. I woke up when my hubby came to bed and could not sleep another moment. I had to fess up about the whole ordeal.
I turned in the bank card and we are closing out the line of credit. There will be no more access to that I set up a repayment plan that I can live with.
The biggest change will be When my hubby comes to my work place every Thursday night to make sure i get my a…
home . That has always been my biggest temptation. The reason I pick Thursday is simple enough. I am off for the weekend and I have no one to tell me not to go. That is all about to change and i am happy about that. I was beside my self once the gamble fog lifted and that is when I realized I can’t afford to waste any more money or time on this addiction. If I fail again I will seek out a treatment program. I will ban from the casino again too. Yikes!!!! FG

When we forgive ourselves others will forgive us too. Your doing a wonderful thing. You are teaching your daughters that we all can come back to our true selves,we just have to what that bad enough. Living through example and showing unconditional love is your gift to them. You are winning this fight>!!!FG

[female g]

yes we chatted in group today. I hope you will do the right thing and put the blockers in place and be responsible in recovery. Your children and the family deserve to be happy and if that means A great Xmas then just remind yourself of that every time you get an urge. Repeat xmas a thousand times over to remind you of the goals you want to achieve. Try visualization and use relaxation tools to keep you focused. FG

[female g]

so great to see you both able to stop the insanity together and to hear the voice of God loud and clear through the voices of others. Awesome!! Love the 3 7’s too . I’m so happy to here you both being strong FG
