Living with Addiction - Day 11

Okay, so more than 10 days passed since I stopped gambling.  Given the long 4-day weekend with the July 4th Holiday, I am so surprised I got through it.  I had lots of downtime, but I spent it often meditating or watching the Sopranos.  I've always been a big TV fan, it is very entertaining with so much and varied programs available to watch that keeps me either amused or engaged in the act of watching.  Food wise, though sometimes, with so many days I did kind of go off my Seattle Sutton diet.  But I'm back on today and I'm going into the office which is good, as preparing to go to work, does cut down some of that extra time in the mornings that I believe impacted when I played the Ceasars Slots games.

This morning, of course, I got an email from the Ceasars group about great specials they got going on, but I was so very proud that their email didn't change or tempt me back into playing. Instead, I've been writing or I've been playing solitaire, or trivia or bejeweled, majhong, all are games that are cost free, which seems to be working out well. This upcoming week will be interesting as I go into office today, but then Thu and Fri I'm off again, but I do have dentist appointment Thu and then a visit to eye doctor on Fri. Lots of free time again which is definitely challenging, but some how I'm doing it. Saturday, I have therepy and I'm hoping to go to the Renaissance Faire Sunday with my bro bro. We haven't done that in a long while. I'll keep my fingers cross and do a lot of praying to the universe that the weather Sunday will be decent. The Faire is not an event that's comfortable to go to if the ground is wet and muddy.  No fun at all.

So, time for a little more coffee and my breakfast.
