Good evening all.
I tell you, I get more tired when I run all day then I do if I work all day. Today I got little accomplished but running. I followed my sweetie to the garage to have his car worked on. We came back to my place to spend sometime together and catch up on our lives. Well, we ended up spending it with me asleep in his lap…. I took him back to get his car and it wasn’t done yet. I had to leave him there because I had some errands to run. I’m hoping it got fixed because I haven’t heard from him since I left him. I went and got two tires for my car. They were really bad. The ones I got were used and not in the best of shape, but better than the ones I had. It needed inspected too so I went ahead and got that. It cost me $56.00 total, not bad. I’m illegal for a year and have a few more months to get the money for new tires. Now to get my property taxes paid and get my sticker. That’s the next thing on my must do list. I’ve been saving the money for weeks. After getting a few things at the store and some gas for tomorrow, I still have $60.00 to take to the park and $50.00 in savings. I feel good about myself for that. I did have a bad urge to go drinking today and almost went. But I knew if I did I’d end up having way too many and would gamble so I came home and took another nap. I wanted to have money for tomorrow and I wanted to be in a good mood for the trip. If I had gone drinking, it would have snowed balled in to something worse and ruined all that I have saved and planned for.
Well, I need to get some sleep tomorrow will be here soon enough and it’s going to be a long but fun day!
Peace and Love.

I'm so glad you thought things through. I'm with you, with machines in the bar a little drink is out of the question. Why tempt fate? I certainly see no reason to. If you want a beer, buy yourself a six pack and have it at home. You are much safer there. I am very proud of you and all that you have accomplished. Money in savings, wow, maybe someday my kids will stop eating and I will have that again.lol. Have a great time tomorrow :) Gretchen.

Hope you have a good time, you deserve it. I liked how you thought of all that could have happened with the drink but I agree with gretchen maybe a few at home would be safe. I used to always associate smoking and gambling together cause where else can you smoke in public now a days. So now at home in my garage I have a comfortable chair with a fan to enjoy my relaxation time smoking and not gambling.

You are an inspiration, you are looking at life clearly in the face and dealing with things as they come - I know the urges I had them yesterday too - something for me to do with having the kids go back to school, I am so very glad we both stayed clean.
I hope you get some lovely R & R soon. Hugs and love Suzi

Sooooooooooo proud of you for looking at that temptation and saying NO.....so glad for you....It is so easy to get into that "I deserve to do something fun" mindset and use it as an excuse to deliver ourselves into the hands of the monster. Not gonna do it, just for today, I will not gamble.
Love ya, Dianne

Isn't it strange when we stop being so impulsive/compulsive, we actually think things through, think of the outcomes, and can make a rationale decision, we have come a long way baby!! Congrats on your progess financially... I know it didn't come easy, you worked really hard to get where you are, and WTG on not blowing it. I agree with Diane, when I get in that "I deserve" mode , I have to stop, think it thru, and dismiss it. I do "deserve", but not to gamble, we are worth more than that.
