Hi Steev.  My first slip was on Sunday.  I had worked an extra shift and was tired and lonely.  My sister had contacted me that day while I was at work in regard to my parents and how they weren’t getting along.  I don’t think I was thinking of that though.  I was tired and didn’t really want to go straight home.  I felt like ‘relaxing’ and I would be able to control myself…you know, just stay a short time & leave…and there was a thought in the back of my head that I might win some extra money to make up for some of my previous losses.  I had actually walked out of a casino with $500 winnings on my last venture of 2018.  Sunday night was the usual night of remorse and Monday was the ‘day after’ a not so funday Sunday.  I was tired and depressed for slipping on Sunday.  On days like that it’s best for me not to leave my house unless I’m going to work.  I went to a gas station to get some beer…that was my excuse…& of course they had a casino.  The rest is history.  I work tonite and am leaving my cards at home in in the case I get some crazy thoughts when I get off tomorrow morning.  Going to start leaving my house with only enough cash to stop and pick up things I may be needing.
