Hi Laura ,
Great post – I too have rekindled some old friendships and seem to have a lot of friends – I guess I was an ok person before gambling addiction took hold .
It is extra nice to have these friendships now that our kids are grown and we have time to enjoy our friends .
I also have created some distance with friends who dragged me down – why do people think we want their uninvited criticism? I don’t anymore and I won’t wait around for it anymore ! It certainly makes life a lot happier and easier when we don’t have to constantly defend ourselves.
I read your posts and think that is where I can be Laura – with just a little patience and a little wisdom.
Thank you for sharing – it is good to read about those who are making it
Xx
