I am late starting this, but I did not gamble today the 1st day of November!!!! I will get through November one day at a time…. I hope and pray that many will join me and we will work on our recovery together!!!

I’m in it to win it! Vera said something on someone’s thread…ok, I don’t remember anything these days…You weren’t very lucky at gambling…hope you are more lucky in recovery. I know that wasn’t it exactly. It stuck with me though. One of those Vera statements that makes you ponder.
I wish everyone good luck and good fortune in their life in recovery…
This is all we have right now. Whatever cards we have been dealt. So many different cards, but we can all be winners. We can win at recovery, and unlike so many other things in our lives, we have a choice. Let’s choose recovery for the next 30 days…One Day At a Time.

On shaky ground, but hanging in there. 11 days into November. One day at a time. I keep thinking that I can’t make it. But I just need to keep focusing on today. What will I do with this day?

I won’t gamble today. I am a person who loves celebrations and holidays. Last month, I kept thinking that I wanted to celebrate Halloween without the guilt and remorse of gambling tainting everything. This month, Thanksgiving, falls on the last weekend of November. I want to be able to enjoy the weekend and to give thanks for the things that really matter to me. I might feel a little sick to my stomach from eating too much turkey, but I don’t want it to be from gambling. I am looking forward to celebrating Thanksgiving and I hope I can also celebrate another gamble-free month. One Day at a Time!
If you have gambled this month, don’t gamble today, then GIVE THANKS for one gamble-free day, then GIVE THANKS again tomorrow for one more!!! -
I have the opportunity today to make it a gamble free one. No matter what happens in my day today, i choose not to gamble.
There was a time when i couldn’t choose, today i can and for that i am totally grateful. Making a commitment to keep myself in recovery today and every day. Its my priority. If i don’t have recovery i don’t have anything 🙂P

A reminder this morning to slow my pace of thinking down. To not worry about yesterday it is gone, tomorrow is in the future. The only way to be in the present is to live in the present, just for today. Just this one day i will not gamble. I would like to never gamble again and in order to do that i can do it one day at a time. Each morning, i can say, just today i won’t gamble.
So here goes, just today… i wont gamble.p.s Cat i think Larry chooses to post periodically now he posted a while back to say he would be still visiting but not so often. Hi Larry if you are reading. Miss your frequent posts.

Well.. just for today and hopefully the rest of my life day by day. I will not gamble today, why? Because i don’t want to. I don’t want to add misery and pain to my day. I don’t want to be back in that merciless obsession ever again

Last day of the month. Since I am in bed and my husband and daughter are watching football in the next room, I think it is safe to say…I will not gamble today and November has been a gamble-free month.

Well said P.

It is wonderful to think that your messages are read by so many; some of whom perhaps will never write but who can know from your thread that the impossible dream is possible and it can be their reality.
Your gamble-free days bring me so much joy – thank you.
