Hi Vicky I am glad that you came and admitted that you had gambled as it is important to be honest with ourselves and everyone. After I registered at GT it was a week until I really got started as I found myself panicking about never being able to play those machines again!!! After the week I then started to focus on one day at a time and it is how I continue today. I don’t think of never playing those machines again as I just take it a day at a time. I have had gambling ***** since I came here two years ago, but I keep working on recovery. I would suggest that you try and not have access to cash right now as "no money = no gambling". Is there anyone that you trust that could ask to look after your money for you? It is so worth fighting for a gamble free life. You deserve a gamble free life!!! Have faith in yourself that you can do this. One day at a time my sweet lord…
(((P))) where are you? We want to know you are okay? If the shocker is that you gambled then don’t stay away as this is when you need to be posting. One day at a time my sweet lord…
(((Carole))) I am so glad that you found your cat and that you are moving forward with what you want to do with your life. I know that it is your choice to move, however, it is still difficult. I am hoping that you may have a couple of months to move as it may make the transition easier for you to do it gradually over two months. I am sure it felt strange being in your own apartment for the first night. I hope that you enjoyed your BBQ with your friend. It is an adjustment making a new life, but also exciting for you at the same time. Take care and you will get there one day at a time.One day at a time my sweet lord…
Liz so glad that you had a great visit with your Mother, and I am sure that she really enjoyed it as well. You are sounding a bit better just now which is great. My heart goes out to the 19 firefighter’s family, what a horrible tragedy. I said a prayer for their families. Have a great day!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Bettie, so glad that you had a great vacation visiting Debbie. That was a nice thing to do for your sister and it sounds like she really appreciated it. We sometimes forget that we have so many people who have supported us throughout our life with challenges. Have a wonderful day!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Congratulations on 4 years gamble free, what an awesome achievement and an inspiration to others on this site!!!! One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hey Bettie I just had to post…. awesome game!!!!! I notice there are a good number of those Hawks from Canada!!!! I hope you had an awesome visit with Debbie. I think we all need to have something positive to look forward to and focus on. I am going out with friends tonight so I am slowly working on doing things!!! I am going to send you a friend request on facebook and show you a lovely picture!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Wonderful to see your awesome post Bettie. WTG on how you dealt with your boss, and I have no doubt that you will do brilliant with selling investments. In regards to the cold calling, just remember it’s no big deal and the more you do it the easier it gets. I can tell you are chirpier today and I think some of it might be you looking forward to your visit with Debbie. I think we all need something to look forward to!!! You two will have a great time as you always do. I am sure that Debbie will not mind watching your Blackhaws. I have been watching them as well. One day at a time my sweet lord…
Bettie, cyber hugs ((())) to you. Congratulations on being 32 of 36 bankers and doing it in a 5 week time span. Way to go girl, I knew you were good!!!! Your boss sounds like a "wonderful" human being. NOT!!! I hope that you feel better today, and dont even think about running your car into a tree. Are you on vacation next week? Focus on your vacation and getting away for a break. I could be wrong, but I think you are Ms. Debbie are getting together. Look out trouble, here they come LOL I hope I got a smile out of you Bettie as you really are a delightful, warm and caring person. You have a heart of gold!!! You deserve to be treated with respect so keep fighting for what you deserve. Chin up and you go girl!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Congrats on your team last night. I don’t want to say too much incase it is a trigger for anyone, but it was wonderful to see. I am so glad you have something to look forward to Bettie with your week’s vacation. I am the same as you that I need something to look forward to. It is strange how we get into these down in the dumps or blue times. It is such a challenge to stay positive at times. You really have been through so much over the last while that it is not surprising. I have a spa gift cert to use and my daughter has one as well. We were supposed to go in April, but we have not been yet. She is going through some challenges right now and when I was talking to her last night asked her if we could go soon. She then started telling me I was putting a guilt trip on her. I am seriously thinking about just going by myself as I could do with some pampering. I suppose my point is that we all have times that we feel we have no friends and our daughters are not there for us. I also notice it is when I am feeling sorry for myself that I feel that way and yet as much as I try to give myself a shake it does not work. You know what I am going to go and use my gift cert as I need it for me right now!!! Can you afford to go and get yourself a little spa treatment Bettie? Do something nice for yourself, now that is an order. Chin up and keep smiling!!!!! ((((Bettie)))) cyber hugs coming your way.One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Liz, sorry that you are not sleeping well, but I think that quite often happens when someone has lost their spouse. It will take time so be patient with yourself. I am glad that you had fun picking out new furniture and that you had a friend go with you. It will be nice for you when it is delivered on Friday and it will help make the living room more your own. I hope that your new mattress also helps a bit with your sleeping. It is nice that you have your daughters coming over and though it will be difficult to go through some of your husband’s things with them, it is good that you are also planning to have lunch and swim with them. Its important to remember that you do things when you are ready not when others think you should be doing it. I hope you had a better sleep last night. Take care and I hope that you have a good day with your daughters. One day at a time my sweet lord…
