My Sister took us out for lunch, not the casino. But my Mom and Sister have been ar the casino for 9 hours. I’ve finished work and I’m eating the rest of my lunch, Greek Salad with Salmon. I have my PJ’s on and I’m watching a movie. My Mom will suffer the consequences, financially. I’ll hear about it after my Sister leaves tomorrow afternoon. She would never consider getting help. Oh well. I’m gamble free. I can only save myself.

Thank you Velvet for your help! It is appreciated.

Jen, I will get a copy. I-did-it, my Mom and Sister are CG’S also. They just haven’t admitted to it yet. I can go into thd casino and eat, ect…as long as I don’t sit down at a machine as I’ve banned there. My Mother already said that we would probably ear there. I’m not going. My Mothet can’t afford to gamble. My Sister’s boyfriend is very wealthy. She doesn’t pay for any living expenses. She’s a high roller. Whatever!!! It’s giving me anxiety! I made it through the day without gambling! I can see my future getting better without gambling. Debts will be falling off next year and I will be able to save money for my trip. I’m going forward not backwards!

I’m having major gambling urges! My car needs a few repairs. They can wait till next month and will take up all of my extra money!!! So my CG brain is telling me that I should gamble and WIN some money. We all know that I will only end up further in the hole. I’m trying to think realistically! I have both banks to clean this evening. This is helping me to stay focused! Oh, I hate this feeling. Jen, my library doesn’t have the book. I will have to get it from Amazon.

I will recommend a place for dinner. There’s only a handful of places, no reservations. I live in a small, rural town. Lol!! No one is going to jeopardize my gambling free time! I treated myself today. I bought shrimp and made a wonderful dinner for myself. I made garlic lemon shrimp, served
over handcrafted lemon pepper pasta (which I had purchased at the farmers market). Wow!!! It was delicious! And I have leftovers. I finished a pair of earrings for my oldest Daughter for Christmas. They turned out so beautiful!!!! Keeping busy and enjoying myself.

[lizbeth4]

Great on your gambling free time!!! It is adding up. It’s the lost memories and time that bothers me also! But look, you are living in the now and are present for your Son!!! Time does fly. Enjoy every moment with him!!!! There’s nothing better than our children except for Grandkids!!! Lol!!!! We can’t go back and change things. We can only go forward and enjoy our life’s. Have a good day!!!!

[lizbeth4]

If my library doesn’t have it, I will buy and download on my Kindle. My Birthday and my Mom’s is one day apart. Yes, I was almost born on her birthday. It’s right before Christmas. Just another day!!!

[lizbeth4]

Sore throat is hanging on! I’ve got everything in place for Christmas. I just have to wrap presents and do some grocery shopping. Working on my jewelry gifts! My Sister will be here this weekend and is taking my Mom and I out to dinner for our birthdays. I’m sure they will be going to the local casino. I’ve banned from there. Also, I have to work on Saturday. I have been able to detour gambling thoughts. I’ve thought of my goals and dreams. I can’t make them a reality while actively gambling. I can do this!

[lizbeth4]

No Jen, I haven’t read it. I will see if our library has it! Thanks for recommending it. I treated myself to a shrimp dinner afterwork. Oh my goodness. It was delicious! I sold 3 items today and netted $85 dollars. I paid for my dinner and deposited the rest into my bank account. I wanted to gamble but thought it through. I read Kin’s post about living for the what-if’s! I’ve done that most of my life. You get no where. Time for a new mindset!

[lizbeth4]

Nope. I live in a small rural area (from a big city originally). I have to travel 2-3 hours round trip for any meetings and to see a addiction counselor. I was going but now that I work at night it’s to much.

[lizbeth4]

I’ve made it through the last few days and haven’t given in to the ugly monster. Right now, I’m back on track with my creditors. I’ve been given another chance and I won’t blow it this time. I’ve pulled my strength from my inner core and I prayed for God to help me through this. Today’s a new day!!
