Peacegirl you are doing great coming and posting. WTG on not gambling and waiting out the urges. I would try and get something else in my head when they came. I would sing Taylor Swift’s song in my head…. we are never ever ever getting back together and I would be singing it to the slots. It is one day at a time and if we focus on today then we are okay. I think a lot of our challenges is that we have decided we are not gambling and we want to have months of gamble free time right away. It’s like deciding to go on a diet and we want instant results.
It is interesting that you mention that no one knows about your gambling. I am in the same situation here. The only people who know are my husband and kids. I don’t tell anyone else. I have actually met a couple of the people from GT and it was wonderful. I have met Bettie and Carole. It is so good to be able to share with people who understand what you are going through. I use GT as my outlet to post how I am feeling etc. One day at a time is the way to go. Have a great gamble free day!!!
