Hey Bettie, good to read your posts and I wonder the same thing these gambling thoughts never will go away but we do get better and dealing with it all and I am so happy you are getting it together so well. It takes alot of effort but there is no lack of that in youG

good to hear your doing better and learning to find other ways to spend time. Its good to see you wanting to take care of yourself and others too like the friend from AA and your daughter. I haven’t posted to much lately but sure am happy to see how well everyone is doing.G

Well done and hopefully this week of holiday time will make up for the not so fun stuff. G

I know what you mean just did all that on sunday and the worst part is just that. But what I try to think of is how great it will look in the end. Visualize the end product and  it may help tp push you onward. knowing I am at the end at least of the first level and it sure does look great now. G

thanks kathryn for the post and I think your right Recovery does allow us to be our true selves and I am grateful for that.  Its nice to like who we really are again isn’t it.  Glad you are able to post still and I know I would hate to loose my computer its like a lifeline isn’t it.G

Isn’t it better that we can concentrate on the everyday than be removed completely.  I know it is a learning curve as we re learn with a clearer mind (and you are by the way) to change the way we deal with the day to day. Its a new way and a better way. your determination and resolve are wonderful examples to all cg’s who want to work on re entering into the real world.  Good on you for getting what you deserved and not settling. 
hope the new year is one that is  full of more joy and less connection to your gambling past. You are amazing and I for one am so glad to know you and learn from you. thanks G

Soooooo fantastic and well done for sure. 1 year and 1/2  that is amazing and your a a real example of what can be accomplished through the tough times and through the good times. I am so impressed with you. I hope you and your family really have a wonderful and very happy Christmas.G

Oh Bettie your so right these people are so annoying. They usually have no clue about the strugggles we go through in fighting urges and addictions. I say blow her off and don’t feel obligated.  There is faith and then there is religion. Two very different things to be sure. By the way i wish you happiness over the holidays and hope you’ll be around to chat from time to time over the holidaysG

[female g]

Thanks for your response just to let you know I am taking it all in and will think long and hard about it all.G

[female g]

thanks Bettie i did appreciate the feedback and will be careful I promise and honest too. Hope you can stay out of the frigid weather its here too and I am not thrilled. I am worried it may not be warm enough in florida either. In which case we won’t go. May have to try to get a last minute vacation somewhere else or just stay at home. Hope not. See you on the forum sometime G

[female g]

man when it rains it pours  dosen’t it. Well lets hope once this year is out of the way you will do much better in 2011.  Not to say you haven’t done so well in regards to your own recovery I just mean the outside forces, I hope you see much inprovement in that area.  WEll sorry about your Aunt and i hope that the trip dosen’t take too much out of you.G

[female g]

Man I thought my computer was down and I wasn’t going to be able to check in on folks here.  I always try to figure things out without reading but that will teach me lol Once I read what was wrong it was a quick fix. Yes Bettie it is always good to recognize our good fortunes by seeing how hard others have things.  that should’t discount the difficulty you face either.  You are very nice to have gone to see your friend and make her feel better. Cutting her hair must have really cheered her up and cheered you up knowing you went out of your way to care. Good on you Bettie G

[female g]
