    Way to go Bettie!  I’m sitting here this morning debating on working out and you’ve motivated me!  It is great to see how well you are doing even with the little things in life cropping up.  Hang in there and keep up the great work!You can do anything if you put your mind to it!

    Hi Bettie,
    Even though your post said some difficult things, it was really insightful on your part.  I think it is excellent that you are linking the unhealthy relationship and the gambling together.  Funny, for me, it is very similar too.  My childhood has definitely driven me to feelings of not feeling worth and a low self esteem.  My relationships have followed the same pattern.  Soooooo, I look back to the times that I really felt loved and worth while and focus on those feelings as the ones that I deserve.  I’m trying to focus on the good in my life, laughing with friends, the times my parents did show affection, my sister and my relationship and any of those times in my life where I did feel good about myself.  Sometimes, I think, I’ve had more of the "not so good" than the "good" but the good is still there and much more of the good is yet to come.  You’re a great person and your time is right around the corner.  You are doing wonderfully!  Keep it going!You can do anything if you put your mind to it! Have great day! – DD

    Hi Kathryn!
    Sorry to hear the trip to the States has been postponed!  It would have been fun had we been able to cross paths!
    Sounds like things are on the move with you all.  Glad to hear that you’ve talked with the counselor with Bailey and that things are progressing. 
    I’m back from my trip and finally starting to feel rested and getting caught back up at work.
    Looks like I missed you and P on chat.  Hope to catch you all this weekend.

    Hi Kathryn,
    It was so great to chat with you and all this weekend.  How fun!  I’m getting ready for my trip.  I leave tomorrow and get back Monday evening.  I’m working from home today so I can finish up some things before I go.  I don’t feel tempted right now to hit the casino on the boat.  Oddly enough, I’m liking me well enough right now to not want to punish myself or escape.  One day at a time.  I hope the car is not too costly.  I just hate car trouble!You can do anything if you put your mind to it! Have great day! – DD

    Hey Bettie,
    Just trying to catch up and read some posts before I go on my trip.  Wish I could pack you in my suitcase!  I’m really looking forward to it.  I’ve been reading back through some of your posts, being away for a while as you know, and I just want to say, WOW, you really have some great insight going on here.  From when you started, you are really peeling back the onion and getting down to some important things.  Great job!  There are so many things that you are saying that are true, but the ones that stick out to me is that we do deserve good things and we are worth it!  As you know, I’ve been going down that path too, and I am really starting to like me!  No more victim!  I usually try to smile on the outside, but now, I’m starting to smile from the inside.  Very refreshing.  Soooo, the long and short of it is that you seem so, so much better than when you started here and are doing an excellent job.  When people say negative things to me, I trying to take a saying that my sassy middle daughter says, "Hmmmmm, let me see if I care what you think, (pause, pause), NO I DON"T."  If someone says negative things to me, why the heck would I want to have them around.  Ok, family may be different and that’s a whole other issue and may be harder to deal with, but people off the street, whatever!
    Hang in there.  You are making excellent progress.  I’ll stay strong on my trip.  I deserve a better life and so do you!You can do anything if you put your mind to it! Have great day! – DD

    Hi Bettie,
    Sounds like you have had some struggles lately too.  I’ve not been doing well for the last month or two.  I haven’t been here to fess up either, but started again yesterday.  Funny thing about it all, though, is that the mess made me realize what I have been running and escaping from.  It is still going to be a long journey, but what I’ve taken out of it is very valuable.  Soooo, long and short of it, we can get back to where we want to be.  To me, its a matter of facing my "demons" and then figuring out how to get past them.  I’m relying on the Big Dude upstairs who watches out for us to help me with it.  I don’t think I would have made it this far if I didn’t still have some positives to offer people.
    Well, that’s my story for now.  I’m going to try to get back on chat this weekend.  Hope to see you then.You can do anything if you put your mind to it! Have great day! – DD
