Thank you (((Cat))) and (((Liz))) for your kind posts. If it wasn’t for the GT community and the friends I have met and made from this site, I would still be gambling compulsively and still being in an emotionally abusive relationship. I would not have the self-awareness that I now have, the emotional support, or the confidence to be moving forward in a new life. So for this I thank every single person who has supported me in the past 2 1/2 years, and made me stronger in my recovery. Not only do we recover from compulsively gambling, but we recover emotionally, which is such a great gift we get. That had been preying on my mind how I was going to move my furniture to the city, so moving it yesterday was a great relief. I now have everything I need there and just have a couple boxes to pack with office supplies, my sewing machine, and a small white Christmas tree. My car can take that in one load. And my Cat!!!! A big fat orange cat named Ferris. So all in all, I’m feeling good. I have emotionally left the relationship, though at ***** feel sorry for Danny that he lost someone good that he didn’t value. It is what it is! The end of a dream of retiring together and having a good relationship. I have let that go. I can only control me. And leaving this relationship I am taking back my control. And Liz you can sleep in my bedroom. My leather sectional has a Cleopatra lounge chair and I move another piece of the sectional to the end of the lounge and I have a very comfortable bed. As soon as I move in for good, let’s see each other and go out and have some Edmonton fun!!! Carole
