Hi (((P))) glad that you are posting and encouraging us all to get back to posting. It is the same old story when it comes to change we all take our own time to feel comfortable with things. I have started a new thread as well. I decided the only way to figure all this out is to post and try different things. Have an awesome gamble free day Sweet Pea!!!
What a great post!!!
Hi (((Carole))) I am trying to see how this new forum works. It is going to take a little while until we get comfortable with it!!!
Hi Bettie, I think it is going to take a wee while to get comfortable with the new look and the way things work here. I notice that the posts are not all in chronological order date wise. They seem to be all mixed up!!!
I am excited to see you and about our trip (((Carole))) I love shopping in the States I find their prices and selection for the big girl shop is way better than Canada!!!! I love having something to look forward to as it just makes everything seem so much better. I hope that you get a call for an interview for the job that you applied for that you would like. If we need to reschedule because you get an interview that is okay. I need to get going for work. Have a wonderful gamble free day!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Bettie, thanks for the post and the suggestion on the strap for carpal tunnel on my writst/hand. I will look for one of the straps here and try it. I am so excited for you having your friend visit you next month, that is absolutely wonderful!!!! I know that you will both have a wonderful time, as long as your cats behave LOL
Bettie thanks for posting the readings they are really great and anything that makes us think is always good!!! You really are a wealth of information for us dealing with this addiction. It is definitely a ODAAT recovery journey. I am going to my counselor for support right now, as I am starting to recognize when I feel vulnerable and therefore trying to be proactive. Take care (((Bettie)))One day at a time my sweet lord…Hi Bettie, thanks for the post and the suggestion on the strap for carpal tunnel on my writst/hand.

The best time would be between Thursday, September 26 – and as long as I am back on the Monday by 2:00 p.m. If you can get here on the Thursday evening then we could leave on Friday, September 27 for two or three nights as long as I am back in the city by 2:00 p.m. on Monday, September 30 or I can do it anytime between Tuesday, October 1 to Sunday, October 6. We could tentatively set the date and if you have to go for an interview then that would obviously take priority for you. Let me know. One day at a time my sweet lord…
((((Sherry)))) I am so sorry that your are going through some major personal problems. I just wanted you to know I said a prayer for you!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
(((Carole))) I was thinking September 19 – 23, but that would not work for you as you have to be there to sign the paperwork. Would September 26 – 30 work for you? I have a work appointment on the 30th at 5:00 p.m. that I would need to be back for that. I am excited now about this!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
(((Carole))) I hope that your foot gets better soon so that you can go shoe and boot shopping. I don’t mind shopping for shoes and boots as it’s not like clothes where I have all these bumps and everything is too tight!!!! Buy yourself a few pairs of nice shoes. I am looking for a pair of red shoes. I have been looking for them for years. I wear a lot of black and it is nice to have a bright coloured shoe. However, I have not found a pair yet as they all have high heels and I just want a smaller heel. My high heel days are over LOL Although I do have a lovely pair of black shoes with a 3+" thicker heel and they are lovely and very comfortable. I just wish I could have got them in red!!!!
It is wonderful to read your posts and see how well you are doing. You sound so content and focused in building your new life. It is awesome how you have put so many barriers in place to protect yourself from this addiction, and I think that you should make your new "norm" that you don’t gamble in the city. I hope that you realize that you can’t get any more cats as my sons told my daughter, who has two cats that if she gets another one, then it’s official she is the crazy cat lady!!! I am being a bit silly with this post, but sometimes we need to have a smile and laugh to help us through the day.
Carole, why don’t you come for a trip here and then we could go shopping in the States for a couple of days as I need some new clothes that fit. The States have a much better selection in the big girl store. I hope that your boys are not fighting over the new toys!!!! I need to go and get ready for work as I am already behind schedule. Also my hand is bothering me as I believe I have carpal tunnel, but it comes and goes. I get to the stage my whole hand is sore and numb. Keep doing what you are doing, so proud of how far you have come!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…(((P))) I just noticed I put "sweat" when I meant "sweet" earlier. I am thinking of the flower "Sweet P" when I am saying that to you. I am so happy that you are back. You are such a large part of the recovery train here at GT and missed when you are not posting. I often think of Pumpkin and wonder how she is. I hate this addiction and what it has done to so many peoples. It is over two years that I started recovery on this site and I remember at the beginning spending lots of time on chats with you and Pumpkin. P take all the support that you can. I am back at counseling again. I was recognizing that I was having emotional issues and that is a huge trigger for me and I knew if I did not do anything I would be sitting in front of a machine again. I find just sitting talking to someone makes a huge difference. Wishing you a "happy gamble free day"!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
