Day 5-no gambling-So my son (19) moved out yesterday so I spent the day rearranging my house to fill the emptiness plus it gives me an extra bedroom so me and my youngest son (9) won't have to share rooms anymore.  He has had 4 seizures at night over the last 2 years but I will be getting a baby monitor today so I can hear him at night.  He takes an antiseizure med also so we pray to God everynight for protection.  Due to being so busy, haven't paid my bills yet but my dad still has my checks.  Should be getting child support and the tax incentive check today also so need to be extra careful as I know money will trigger me to gamble.  I will withdraw the tax check and give it to my dad as well as withdraw the money from my child support check and give it to my dad.  Have to work 3-11 this afternoon so that will help fill the day.  With my HP's help and the help of you all, I will not gamble today.  I will take the necessary steps to keep me in recovery.  Thanks for letting me share.
