DAY 24 - Proceeding with caution. 24 days is great, but I'm also getting closer to when I last fell of the ol' stop gambling wagon. I' proceeding with strength, but also with a little more wisdom (you know, learning from my mistakes and all). I've learned the more I am GF, the more I have to relish each day, but not to get too cocky! That's what I did last time. I was sooooo damn proud of myself 
for going so long without gambling that I began to think I could do it differently. I could do it smarter! I, with my new found strength, could beat the casinos. I began to think it was time to give it another shot 
. WROOOOOOOOOONG!!!! You either gamble or don't gamble, but nothing is different and will never be. If you gamble, you will loose. Even if you win, you still loose.
Anyway, BOTTOM LINE, I have to be aware that I could slip and therefore be stronger.

Totally agree, and have been there myself many times. It seems as once those old wounds start to heal a little, we think we can do it differently. Has never worked that way for me in the past and now I know it won't in the future either. It does feel really good to be GF , but don't you feel like there is a danger just lurking around the corner ready to grab you in a vulnerable moment. I do - but this time I am armed with my new friends there to back me up. Keep up the good work

Hey "loose"! Yeah, it's lurking and ready to pounce! Got to be strong and eyes wide open. You know, "if the casino doors are open, and you walk through them, then your eyes and brain is closed!"
LUCKYNOT
Proceeding with caution!!!! I do get scared that I will forget that and let my guard down. Because it is still so fresh now-especially since it's taking every ounce of my energy to dig myself out of this mess-I have my guard up. But what's going to happen when things even out and I actually have some cash on hand. I have all these plans on saving, etc but you know the story. I must ever forget!! Look how quick those 24 days went-excellent.
