Hi Sam..Is it my imagination or are you a little quiet recently. I hope you are feeling upbeat, and looking forward to your appointment. Have you visited your friend recently? I actually got a promotion Sam. Somehow I have managed to hold down and work hard at my job. It is a bitter sweet thing.Some people are genuinely thrilled for you while others some of whom are your friends are not. I suppose the green eyed monster takes hold. I am finding very quickly that if I allow people they will drag me down. I think I always the need approval of other people. So my next personal goal is to develop a thicker skin! Also i think their issue is not with me but with how they view their world. Anyway it would appear you have become my personal shrink.!! Life can and does get better Sam. I have slipped along the way but as you have noticed one day your life becomes about living rather than not gambling. I think I’m there now. Just trying to get all the other parts of my life to catch up after years of neglect. Please write a nice long post and let me know how your doing, thinking and feeling!
