Dear Bettie,
Quitting smoking has got to be one of the hardest things ever. Your smoke free time is not in vain the same as your gamble free time is not in vain. Before you "abstained" from gambling for so long (and for the record, i don’t think you can say that you didn’t spend time in recovery no matter what your sponsor thinks) could you hve imagined not gambling for a year and having it feel normal? Not time wasted my friend! You have gained ground. It must have been truly painful for both yourself and Jen to have that little one taken away so fast. It is making Jen think though isn’t it, that she deserves more. And you too? Enjoy those tulips Bettie, if i could have sent them to you I would have. So when you say you have a secret admirer you won’t be fibbing. I do admire you B.
take care,
Laura
