(((Carole))) one part of your post stood out to me as I could relate to it, as you said that Danny’s way of helping you was treating you as a child. I know that my husband has a tendency to do that to me as well. I don’t respond to it well at all. I am working on barriers as to what is acceptable and I would suggest that you do the same. It is okay for Danny to help you, but it does not mean that he can control you. You are your own person and don’t let anyone take it away from you. You have to look at your time living in the city as something you wanted to do. It may not have worked out exactly how you wanted, but you tried it.
I don’t believe there is such a thing as controlled gambling for a compulsive gambler. I know that I can’t do that as if I go once then I want more and more. I am not an alcoholic, but I think most people relate to the fact that an alcoholic can’t have one drink. I can also tell you it is the same as smoking as I quite for over 14 years and started having a few puffs and then ended up smoking again. I am trying to stop smoking again!!! It also tells me that no matter how much gamble free, smoke free, drink free time we have that the first bet, smoke or drink is all it takes.
I know that you can do it Carole!!! We all have to do it the same way ODAAT!!!!
The sun is shining this morning and it is supposed to go to +7 today and +14 on Wednesday. They are forecasting the snow will be gone by Easter. I am starting to feel better and I think a lot of my feeling blah has been related to this long winter.
I think you should start posting a bit more and we can all support each other more. Take care my friend!!!
