      Everyone is welcome to join together to take this month ODAAT and work towards a gamble free month!!!  I don’t think we need to focus on the 30 days in the month though, we just have to focus on today.  Wishing everyone a wonderful gamble free day!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…

      June 1st —
      Today I pledge to not gamble. It takes days to add up to a week, and weeks to add up to a month; and this holds true for June.
      God’s speed. Stay strong.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G's – God, GA, and GT,  "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all I hope to continue to remain gambling free.

      Today was another day lived with no gambling anywhere in it.  Everyday we don’t gamble is accepting a gift from God of the life he has meant for all of us.  That might sound preachy but it’s what I know to be true.

      I am jumping on the June bandwagon wahoo!
      It is the 5th day into June for me and I am gamble free, yeah!
      Being gamble free is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Life is so precious and I have spent so many years watching slip down the drain.Only a fool plays a fools game

      Cold, wet, rainy day in June.  Think I’ll stay cuddled under my blankets instead of going to a stuffy casino.  Another gamble free day !

      Few urges today.. cant do much have to go to work and am sick so i will work, come home and lay on the couch like a blob. I would go to the casino when i was sick. So i will go to work and i will make money rather than lose it to those machines.. just for this day in June of course.

      Dear Cat
      Thank you for your post.   I wasn’t whingeing – I just know that anybody who plucks up the courage to come on this site has the strength and ability to change their life and it doesn’t take ‘me’ to tell them.   I love cheering people on but sometimes feel I am unable to give enough.
      Cat – you ‘are’ living a gamble-free life – not working towards it.   There is no shortest or longest stretch to a life-time – you don’t know how long it is going to be.   You will know tremendous happiness as you live gamble-free, with time to care about yourself and money to spend on things that will bring ‘you’ joy and not feed the fats who live off the addiction of others.  
      I can see and hear a gamble-free life being lived in my family and it is amazing.   You are amazing.  
      Don’t let 7 months be a goal to beat – just for today.  
      It must be comforting when urges come to know that you have others walking with you – I love walking with you.   I seldom get time to write in ‘My Journal’ anymore but I do read and I love to hear the positive strength that pours out from so many.
      To overcome an addiction makes you a very special person.   Carry on enjoying your gamble-free life.
       Velvet

      What a wonderful day to not gamble.  I’m making the most of this weekend and choose to not gamble…but also having blocks in place to make that choice even easier.

      So proud of you, our P.  I went into chat to see if you were there, but I missed you … twice.  This site is very quiet … don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing.  Hope everyone is well and having a wonderful, healthy, gambling free weekend.  Can’t wait until our Vera comes back.  RG

      This weekend was very hard! First weekend gamble free but was able to do it! I feel great and know that this is a small step in the right direction! One day at a time! Life has more to offer than the casino and cards! I know one day I will wake up and not think about it. Best of luck to all!

      I set myself up this weekend and it could have been a disaster but I got through the weekend without gambling.  I’m thankful, relieved and feeling stronger in my recovery.

      Hi P:  I’m posting to you here because you have no thread — hope you don’t mind.  It does seem that we are mirror images on opposite sides of the world.  Honestly … must be the moon messing with our heads.  I’m going to pray that you return to the wonderful headspace that you enjoyed for all of May.  I know you struggled mightily in March and April, but in May you seemed to really find inner peace.  You are doing a most incredible job.  The time you’ve invested is far, too precious to just throw in the towel now. I know I don’t have any room to give you advice, but hang in there and hang tough.  You’ve shown you have the strength to do this, just keep digging for it, and I will do the same.  Keep going, our P.  You and your boy are SO worth it.
      Love, RG
