    Today was a really hard day for me. I almost buckled. I was just so tempted. But I thought it through and decided against it. I am reading a good book instead. Yesterday marks 2 weeks free. It’s a struggle. But the longest I’ve gone in about 15 or more years. It was small at first but then turned into more and more and anything I won went right back in. So trying really hard to get free of this. I know I can do it. Thankful for this sight.

    • Two weeks free is an awesome start! My wife and I will take it 10 minutes at a time if we have to in order to stay out of that f’ing casino this weekend. We went to a holiday play last (Friday) night that cost us $25.00 per person. SO CHEAP compared to our weekend casino dumps! STAY STRONG

      • That is awesome!!! Today I went to a museum with friends and my daughter. It took all day. So I’ve made great strides with getting out there and doing more stuff that isn’t gambling related. It helps that I’m getting divorced and not longer in a toxic relationship. They didn’t gamble but I was beyond lonely and bored. We were not compatible at all. I had never went through the gambling urge and then past and it really wasn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be. Yesterday was the worst. I can do this. I just have to find other things to do and make sure I get on here everyone the urge is strongest.
