Good morning Bettie,
There is no opening with "Originally posted by bettie" here, I really don’t know what I can say about anything in the part of your life that you have been posting about. I can however, say, keep working on your recovery and practicing the Steps that allows us to transcend and separates us from the power that compulsive gambling has over our lives. Keep working at the changes that are keeping you gambling free.
I will also add that I have found that the principles of the Steps of Recovery also helped me in all aspects of my life; when our character traits are looked at and corrected or enhanced, change in other areas seems to just come about over the same course of time. Keep working on change, and let the new you be carried over beyond gambling problems.
Christmas Day is around the corner so I will also use this post to wish you the very best and enjoyable Christmas; and as I have found myself expressing more this year, Christmas is not just about gifts, the reason for the first Christmas was to bring about change. Enjoy all that is there for you this Christmas, concentrate on being the changed Bettie that all of your friends know, and not the secret one that only exist in the mind of another.
And not to be completely out of character in my post, I will close with some words Originally posted by bettie, "I guess I won’t be missing out on too much after all", words that hold a truth.
God’s speed. Stay strong. "Follow the Steps in your daily affairs" — page 17, GA Combo Book.
 LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G’s – God, GA, and GT,  "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all , I will continue to remain gambling free.
