Hi Lizbeth, so glad that your hubby had a good sleep without coughing, and I am sure it let you get a better sleep as well. Take care and have a gamble free day!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Dear (((Bettie))) so happy that your surgery is over. I hope that you don’t have to much pain, but sometimes we can deal with that easier than the fear and dread of the surgery. It’s always such a relief once the surgery is over, and it’s onwards and updwards. You are such a fighter that you will be back to good as new realy soon. I am happy that your friend and daughter are there to help you. Speedy recovery dear B!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Larry, where are you? I am so used to seeing your posts and I am concerned about you. You are like a rock to me in GT and I wonder if you need to lean on someone else for a while. Please post to let us know how you are!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Bettie, so sorry that you are facing all this with your health, but it will be worth it after you have recovered from the surgery. You have to accept the help that people give you. If the shoe was on the other foot… you would be the first person there to help others… as that is just who you are. I would base your decision on what you would prefer to do. Could you stay with your cousin for a few days then go home for a few days as then it might be easier on you. Do what makes Bettie happy. I would gladly come and help if I lived closer. Take care my friend. Happy Valentines Day!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Sherrie, just catching up. It sounds as if you are going to have a dream home soon. It must be wonderful to see all the parts coming together. I think your story about the stool you bought at $300 was great, as can you imagine how you would have lost that in the Casino and more and not thought twice about it. Now you are going to be able to sit on your new stool/seat and look out of your new home and enjoy the view. I would imagine it is a more pleasant view than any casino. It must be difficult for you when your Mum talks about gambling – as I know when people talk to me about gambling – or even if I hear an ad about it – some***** it gets my thoughts going there and it is tough to get your thoughts focused on something else. It is tough if your mother does complain lots about different things. I lost my Mum when she was only 61 so I did not get her at that age. It is difficult when you are with someone who complains lots – whether your mother or anyone – it can really pull you down. Keep thinking positive thoughts and ******** your blessings as they complain – that is what I am trying to do!!!! Although I can get down and complain at ***** as well. I notice that when I am tired I am a bit like that. Keep doing what you are doing – you are doing awesome!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Ican, so great to read your happy posts. I hope that you continue with the love yourself for February. I think that is a great idea. I am exhausted just reading about all the stuff you have been up to decluttering. I am needing to declutter as well. I start to do some of it but I never seem to get it finished. I get overwhelmed because I want it all done NOW!!! I know that I need to break it up to manageable projects, but I don’t, then I think, where do I start. I then think to heck with it and go watch TV LOL. Although, in my defence I have been busy at work, as well as helping organize a fundraiser in support of a friend, so I think by the time I get home I am just plain tired. It is strange I think it is accepting that I am 60 now and I can’t keep going like I did in my 30s. I have actually done some decluttering and I will continue to slowly get it done – one day at a time – the same as not gambling.One day at a time my sweet lord…
OMGosh, it is awesome to see the change in you Debs. So happy for you and that you will have your own space and that you got exactly what you wanted. I am sure that you are going to be so focused on making it your own space and that is going to keep you busy which is great. Also, the fact that you can walk to work you will get exercise as well. You sound so happy it is great!!!! BTW when is the house warming party LOLOne day at a time my sweet lord…
Happy Birthday Harry and thanks for all your help and support!!! I hope you have a great one!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
Hi Debs, it is wonderful to see your post. It certainly does not seem like the same person who was living a nightmare life with Barry. This lady seems to respect herself and seems so much more relaxed about life. It sounds like you had a wonderful time with your "friend", but I definitely agree that you should take things slowly. I am not an expert in this, but I know with AA there is something about not starting new relationships for a certain amount of time when you go into recovery. I would imagine that some of that is to do with being "fragile" if something goes wrong and it sends the person back to drinking. I think you should take time to find out who Debbie is on her own, and she definitely sounds like a person worth getting to know. Debs, like I said I am no expert, but just don’t want you to rush into anything, although if you have known your friend since you were 15, then I don’t suppose you can call that rushing into things LOL Wishing you a wonderful gamble free day!!!!One day at a time my sweet lord…
