TAKING A BREAK FROM CLEANING! i AM SO STUPID!
My cable/internet has been down since Thursday. I was cleaning because cable guy was comming. I moved my chair to vacumm and guess what? MY BOOSTER FOR THE CABLE WAS UNPLUGED! WHAT A MORON!!
Canceled the cable guy, plugged in the booster, all  is well! Thank God I caught that. They would have charged me a service call fee!
Live and learn!

Hi Guys!
Caught some of u on the chat-so good to see u all.
Silent treatment does work-boy do I hate playing games with people! Just not me!Oh well, the "friend" made an apology, thats a first! Seems I missed many calls all week, he was worried. I told him what an *ss he was and he agreed, guess thats a start. He still needs to go though.
Sundays are hard but I will survive. No gambling-one month today. Thats a first!
Hang in there! odaat!
peace

 Hi Guys,
The jerk who ticked me off Saturday night/Sunday called. I gave him a tast of his own medicine, I’m too busy to talk, I’ll have to call you back. I didn’t call him.
I hate to be like that, it’s just not my nature to be mean to people but I have to stop letting these guys get the best of me. I have been having urges ever since but I’m not gonna do it.
Came home, worked out, cleaning started.
Tomorrow is another day. I will be strong and i WILL NOT GO GAMBLE! I will deal with my sad feelings LIKE AN ADULT!
No one can do this for me, I have to do it myself.
peace

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the posts. Things are always brighter when the sun comes up and you have had a decent nights sleep.
I am learning how to cope without running to the boat to escape. That is new for me.
Have a long day today and tomorrow. Looked at some threads but no time to write. Will try to post tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for all the support! Nice way to start the day!
peace

Hi Guys,
Party was a hoot! Didn’t do the bus thing though, couldn’t get tickets for the show and the young ones were going club hopping-a little out of my league.
FWB ticked me off yesterday, I am so frustrated with this whole "relationship". Time to cut my losses and move on. I have had triggers all day today and wanted to go to the casino. I have been thinking all day about how many times my dissapointment in my "love life" or true lacking of having a "real" partner in my life has sent me running to the casino. Sad today when I should have been happy-I let him do that to me.
Tried the chat but I seemed to be missing everyone. I wouldn’t have been good company today anyways.
but i didn’t gamble

Hi Guys!
Thanks for the posts!
I have 2 parties today after work so i don’t think I will get much of a chance to chat today. Should be fun but I am fretting about spending the $$. Funny, if I was going to the boat $45 bucks would be a drop in the bucket but spending it for the party bus and admission to a "drag" show seens like a lot to me! (girl at work is getting married, bachlorette party). I’ve never been to a bachlorette party so it should be fun. "Toy party" at her house first, those are a hoot! ( if u don’t know what that is, don’t ask!) Then off to the drag show in a party bus.
Hope to catch chat tomorrow. See u then!
peace

Hi Guys,
Saw something interesting on a gambling support site.
"Anyone who gambles is a compulsive gambler. The only difference is to what degree they are addicted."
"You can not win gambling, all gamblers are loosers because you will eventualy re-gamble that back, no matter how much you win. When ever you go back to gambling you are only continuing your "loosing streak" no matter how much or little you play."
Now I don’t know that every gambler is a cg in waiting but the theory is interesting. I do agree that I do not know of any gambler who has kept any winnings, period.
I am doing good. I am not dweling on gambling or on wanting to gamble so that is a blessing and total change for me.
Hope everyone is doing well.
peace

Hi Guys!
tired! long day at work and long day tomorrow. my phone almost didn’t stop ringing last night so i couldn’t get back to chat.
Vera, chicken was good, both fwb’s at the job within 2 minits of each other. Close call as I was outside talking with one and knew the other was on his way. Yea, big time sweating!lol!
Got to get ready for another long day tomorrow.
Take care!

Hi Guys,
Thank you all for the support! Up early, didn’t finish cleaning Laura so I can’t help u out! My brother invited me for dinner, something i would never do on a "boat" night, so I hung out with him instead!
I have plans today with my friend to go thrift shopping. I bought a suit for $4 last week and it was a hit. She always asks how I find these deals so I thought I would show her. She is kind of a prude so this should be fun.
My AA friend called yesterday and wanted to know why I had not been to GA yet. I told her I had not yet found the time. she said yea but u found time to gamble. True, but I could do that 24/7 and GA has limited times. She doesn’t believe me so i told her to look at the site and call, I’ve done both.Wed and Thurs are really the only good times for me.
I am just now wanting to explore that option. Wanted it during the "crisis" in Feb, too upset to go. Now I need to make the time. I am enjoying the "honeymoon" period of banning and am not having big urges now which is great. I need the skills to prevent the next binge. it’s like dieting, to be successful you must plan ahead and I am smart enough to know that. But I am loving the "honeymoon"!
Kin, u are sounding better! Stick with your plan. You are stronger than u give yourself credit for!
Salina, the story of me and my ex husband is unusual. Most Ex’s don’t get along like we do but it did take years to get there. We both had to grow up, we were both babies when we married. If I called him right now with a problem he would be here and if I could help him out with something I would. We did see each other when he was between wives and he had proposed to me between wife 2 & 3. I told him been there, done that! The things I didn’t like about him haven’t changed much and I didn’t feel like getting another divorce. lol!
P,FG, Katheryn, thanks for the words of wisdom!
Hope to chat a little now.
be well,
bettie
