Dear Bettie, I’ve always wanted to ask you what fwb stands for. I can’t be the only one that doesn’t know, can I? I wish I could say that with recovery comes a whole new life, but sadly what I have found is that recovery accentuates the things that are out of balance in our life. So not only are we coping with having given up escaping through gambling, we still have the day to day problems to contend with. And then we have the problems that drove us to gamble in the first darn place. I wish I could say I was a different person since I got into recovery. I wish I could say I was a happier person since I got into recovery. I’m happy that I’m in recovery though because the alternative sucks. Did you hear that Amy Windhouse died at age 27, possibly of an accidental drug overdose? Carole
