Thanks for the post Sherry :)..Usually if I stay away, it means I am gambling but thankfully this time it’s not the case! It’s a great thing that I excluded from nearby casinos, because there were a few ***** I would have swung my car around for a quick stop in.
I know what you mean about the weekends…or for me, any days off from work with time on my hands ( I have some days off during the week). I am working this weekend so I am safe…and I am going to Chautauqua next Wednesday with my aunt and cousin on a short vacation…I know if I gamble it will ruin my time with them so I am going to really try to stay away the days before .Unfortunately, hanging with my out of town family has always been a big trigger for me…Don’t know why..
Try to be strong this weekend..Do just one thing new and different (and constructive) to not think about gambling..We have to train our addicted brains to go in another direction! For me, I don’t want to ruin the clean time I have ..and just start that awful "withdrawal" period all over again..
Wishing you a calm and easy day!
