Bettie, it is so awesome for you to get some positive feedback at last. It is strange how we cant give ourselves that feedback that we are doing an awesome job. I think your previous boss was not good for you and caused you to lose your self confidence. I am so happy that you are getting what you deserve!!! You are a caring and dedicated person and of course your customers would love you. What is not to love about you!!! WTG girl!!!
WTG on you gamble free days. It will be tough having to go near a Casino, is there any way that you could change it with someone else? It is one day at a time that we get through this compulsive gambling. You are doing great just keep posting.
I don’t know what to say about the change of owners in the Bank. I believe when you think of it, it is a change, and we all know that change is scary. I would say take it one day at a time and see where it goes. You are a hard worker and you get results at work so think positive thoughts. I know it’s so much easier saying these things than doing them though.
On the positive the pump is another change, but once you get going with it hopefully it will be better for you health wise.
I have thought of having that band surgery as well, but like you I have had surgeries (gall bladder, c section, hysterectomy and more) and have problem with scar tissues so I think it would cause more problems. I think all I need is for my mouth to be wired and then I could not eat LOL I know that I need to do something about the weight, and I am the only one that can do it. I talk about it lots, but don’t do anything to change even though I know it would be better for my health. One day at a time Bettie. Have a good one!!!!I thought I would drop by and say a Good Morning to you as you sip your coffee and read your posts. I am rushing as usual to get to work on time. I have not been able to figure out how to get to the chats, but I may one of these days. You look after yourself and have a wonderful day as you deserve it!!!
Ican so sorry to hear that your mother-in-law passed away. You really have been having a challenging time lately. This is an emotional time for you so keep posting to help get through this. Remember to take it one day at a time. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I don’t know what happened when you were in the country with Danny, but things happen for a reason. I wonder if this is your moving on stage. I am glad that you are applying for jobs again as it will give you a focus. I know it is not easy to keep applying, but keep thinking positive that there is a job that is perfect for you out there. You have to keep thinking what does Carole want!!!! I know that there is an organization out there that is going to be so blessed to get a wonderful employee like you. The most important thing is never give up trying. I know that you can do it. You go girl!!!
I love reading your posts as there is such contentment in them as it comes across how you are enjoying your life and are happy with yourself. You really are an inspiration. Have a wonderful day and enjoy yourself in your garden doing the weeding!!! I think it is your attitude that inspires me as it seems no matter what you are doing that you are happy doing it. Wonderful!!!
Sweet Pea I loved your post about the crackers, it really made me laugh, probably because I can relate to it.
I know I have been thinking of so many of the people who posted for a while and I pray that they are all doing well.
Have a wonderful day and don’t eat any more crackers LOLI am thankful that I am feeling happy today. I enjoyed posting on Lizbeth’s thread as it made me think of my Grandsons and brought a smile to my face.
I also smiled when I read P’s post about eating the crackers and cheese. he he!!
I am also starting to feel a bit more motivated about this purging after reading Laura’s thread.
I am choosing to have a happy day today!!!Liz in a way it is almost as if you are saying goodbye to your husband again with selling the Condo. I don’t know how long it was your home with your husband, but I am sure there are many memories there, both happy and sad. You have faced so much over the last year and with such strength. It is amazing how we recognize now that our gambling thoughts can be tied in to what we are dealing with and wanting to escape from our reality.
I can read the contentment in your posts when you are in your new home. I will say a prayer that your Condo sells fast.
I am sorry that your Grandson is having such a tough time with the loss of his Papa, but it shows the love he had for him and how he misses him. I love reading your posts about your Grandson and what you do with him. I so wish that our Grandchildren lived closer to us. We went out early before Christmas to see them and we were able to see our 6 year old Grandson play hockey and it was totally wonderful and amazing. He can skate so fast and scored six goals. We also got to see our 3 year old Grandson have a skating lesson. Those are the things that I miss being able to do and see with not living so close. Our 6 year old Grandson is going to play ball in the spring. He played soccer for the last few years.
Liz you really inspire me!!!! Be kind to yourself!!!!Hi coyotegal, you have taken the first step to a gamble free life by posting here. You will find encouragement and support here as you work on recovery. We understand the challenges that come with being a compulsive gambler. The best advice that I can give you is take it one day at a time. It can be overwhelming when you first start recovery to think about never gambling again, so just think about getting through today. Also keep posting as the posts you get from others really helps so much. Welcome!!!
Hello friend, I get concerned when you don’t post so I just want to make sure that you are okay. I did watch Downton Abbey on Sunday and it was great. It is interesting as I had heard people speaking about it being a great show, but never watched it, but once I started watching the Series 1 DVD I was totally hooked.
I am sorry that I have not posted to you or supported you lately, but I get into these “funks” when I just feel blah and I am not able to post or support anyone!!!
I don’t think this “freezing” weather is helping either. I have had enough of it already and it is only January 8. It looks like it is going to be a longgggg winter.
Please post to let me know that you are okay.
