    Hey Larry
    Hope you are going well these days, you are straight back into recovery which is fantastic, something i have never been able to do once i make that initial first bet then i am gone and i dont get out of that cycle for a long time. well done on what you have done larry and you remain an inspiration to me. It is not a competition of clean time it is just a journey and we do the best we can

    Hi Bettie
    Long time no see. Glad to hear you are gamble free. Good you are spending time with family instead. Watch those vlt’s, i know what its like here with pokie machines on every corner. Stick to GA or whatever gives you strength.

    Hi Larry
    Very glad to see that you have continued straight on with your recovery. Thats fantastic, i would not have been able to do to that. When i relapsed i did it good and proper and cannot stop once i start and just start the hellish cycle all over again. Good for you Larry you have always been inspirational and still are. I dont look at you any differently because you gambled once. I still see you as Larry with so many years recovery i just know that you tried it again and it didnt work, again.

    Thanks Kathryn
    Glad you have a bit of a break in between jobs. Do all you can in that time to get some time in for yourself. I know it is scary reading the relapses, i somehow think anyone with time up is safe. Anyway miss, have a good day and i hope to chat to you sometime soon

    Hi Kathryn
    I want to hear about that shopping spree and new job. Things sound like they are falling into place for you. So pleased. Things are suprisingly really going well for me too. Have a good day my fellow Aussie, thinking of you.

    Hi there Larry
    I was sorry to hear you had a relapse but really i look at how quickly you got back here and you chose not to gamble the morning after when you originally planned it. It is not a competition with who can have the best recovery or get the most time up. We just do the best we can each day and on that day there was something that came undone. You have quickly put it back together now and are moving forward once more. if you think you have had one blip in years of recovery its pretty damn good if you ask me. Your support here has been unending to everyone Larry. Just want you to know that you are supported too no matter what. in any addiction relapse is very likely. If it werent no one would need these places or GA or anything else. Everyone would just stop forever. You have done an amazing amazing job Larry. Never give up on you because you are living recovery.

    HI Bettie
    You are a brave girl.. I admire that you have taken this step. Good on you Bettie, get rid of those toxic things for your life. I think its great you bought that lounge, good on you. Like you said it could have gone in a machine but now you have something to enjoy rather than just lost money and not to mention the hangover after. Nice to see you again, i am back in recovery again slowly but surely. Lovely to get in touch with you again and i really hope things work out for you Bettie. I have always thought what a nice person you are here.

    Hi Kathryn
    Where are you? It is school holidays so i am kind of guessing maybe you are busy on the holidays with the kids or maybe you are on holidays? Hope to hear from you soon. Just wanted to say hello to you. Few weeks gamble free again for me, still fighting, still holding on to the hope that one day i might make it too. What an amazing journey you have had my fellow Aussie.
    I really hope things are good for you today

    Hi Bettie
    Im proud of you too. i think its wonderful you walked away. You know you are valued here. Wish you could see that value in yourself. Maybe you are beginning to because walking away from something toxic is a fantastic step in the right direction. Wish i could do the same with gambling, you have done it, good on you bettie, getting rid of all the toxic and negative things from your life
