Day 4-no gambling Mood
Thursday, May 8, 2008 | A General Update story
Day 4-No gambling today.  Still haven't joined a live GA meeting.  Continue to find support via the web.  Thankful for others who are here.  My son moved out yesterday (he's 19) and even though I am having mixed emotions about it, didn't gamble.  Gave my pay checks to my dad this am (didn't cash them yesterday) and will go to his house later to have his write me some checks so I can pay my bills.  Will not have any extra money as that is definately a trigger for me.  I will ask my higher power for help to not gamble today.  Thank you HP for being there for me.  (and everyone else)  Told my boyfriend about this website and the support I have found here and he was surprised to find out I had been gambling again.  He doesn't want to be involved in helping me manage my money.  I can continue having my dad do it as I trust him completely and don't get resentful towards him like I do my boyfriend so that's OK too.
