Γεια σου Irwin,
είναι καλό να βλέπετε ότι εξακολουθείτε να εργάζεστε σε αυτό
Χαίρομαι που έχετε έναν νέο υπολογιστή, πρέπει να χρησιμοποιήσετε όλη την υποστήριξη που μπορείτε. Να προσέχεις τον εαυτό σου.
ΛαούραEhi Irwin,
è bello vedere che ci stai ancora lavorando
Sono contento che tu abbia un nuovo computer, devi usare tutto il supporto che puoi. Prenditi cura di te.
LauraHej Irwin,
dobro je vidjeti da još uvijek radite na tome
Drago mi je da imate novo računalo, morate koristiti svu podršku koju možete. Čuvaj se.
LauraEi Irwin,
é bom ver que você ainda está trabalhando nisso
Que bom que você tem um novo computador, você precisa usar todo o suporte que puder. Se cuida.
LauraHey Irwin,
goed om te zien dat je er nog steeds mee bezig bent
Fijn dat je een nieuwe computer hebt, je moet alle mogelijke ondersteuning gebruiken. Zorg voor jezelf.
LauraHi Bettie,
I’m sorry that this "friend" (although I have a few other names for him) hurt you. From what you are saying is far from the first time that has happened. Of course when it is not our emotions that are tied up in a situation we can look at it and tell you to dump that SOB or never call him again. Have you heard it said that in order to make room for the things you want in your life you have to kick all the crap to the curb first. Otherwise there is no room for the good. I’m sorry you feel so lonely Bettie. I have been married for 20 years and there were still many times that I felt lonely. I too wish I had something wise to say. But I do think that this hurt has resulted in some growth. Those are some pretty powerful statements you made. You are growing Bettie and the changes will continue to happen. My thoughts are with ya Bettie, hope you are having a better day.
LauraHi K,
you must be getting ready for your 7 day stint at work. So glad you have your computer back! I’m heading off to work shortly but it is Friday thank heavens! Lol you’ll have to tell me in chat sometime about some of the things you are coming up with at work. Oh and I forget how many hundreds of ears they had to clean to get enough to make a hairy, cruddy looking candle lol ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Stay strong Kathryn, you are doing great. Have a good evening.
LauraHi Kathryn,
long time no see. Hope your evening out was lovely. Zumba classes are all the rage here too right now. You’ll have to shake something for me lol, no Zumba classes for me I’m afraid. Enjoy your Sunday Kathryn. Maybe I’ll bump into you later.
LauraHey Bettie,
well I missed chat, had to work late tonight. Look at you going! Swimming is great for the back. Hope you are on the mend soon. Take care,
LauraHappy 4th of July Bettie! Sorry I was not up to speed on chat last night, was rather dopey and had not read your thread for a few days. It’s great that you and Jules have been able to strike up a deeper support with one another. We do need people in our lives that understand us. That know we are not bad people intentionally making wrong choices for the sake of it.
We did not become who we are in a day nor will we change who we are in a day. And bottom line, we are the only people that we can change. No one else. Slowly I am learning to be the centre of my universe. That may sound strange! But I was always so worried about external things and people in a way. Now I am worrying about me. Being happy in me, on my own, and we’ll just see how the rest of the world fits into Laura’s universe! Hubby included!
So strengthen those barriers, know that you are truly loved here. Glad to see you pick yourself right back up.
Enjoy your celebrations!
LauraHi Kathryn,
here I am, always catching up. I am feeling blessed to have had some time on the computer this afternoon not in complete pain. Going to have to soon file a complaint with the fairy office. Those pesky fairies are just not showing up to do their jobs. The bottomless bank account fairy who refills the account, my house cleaning fairies have been missing for quite some time.
Sometimes those fellows of ours just don’t want to change. And when we change things just don’t stay quite the same for them, like it or not. Be proud that you could look Dames in the eye and say that you haven’t touched a penny to gamble in the last year. If he has never been responsible for the money he has no idea how much it truly costs to run a household. My hubby is learning that lesson as well. So many positives have come out of your "discussion". Not to mention some sort of financial counselling is an awesome idea.
Take a deep breath and keep taking it one day at a time. Oh and hope that computer is fixed soon! Miss ya but understand too that we each have to find balance in our lives.
Take care K
LauraHere here!
Tenacity with a capital T! Just checking in to see how you are feeling Bettie. Hope that back eases up. Be good to yourself.
LauraSorry to hear about your slip Bettie. What makes for a different ending? You
You have had two months clean and nothing can take that away. You have practiced coping skills and bravely banned once already. You are back here showing that you aren’t ready to give up. I have faith in you Bettie and you can and will do it.
When you finish your shift tonight, come home and put an ice pack on your poor back for twenty minutes. Let your back unthaw a bit and have a hot hot shower. Try to move around a little bit so you don’t sieze.
Try and be good to yourself Bettie, we shouldn’t kick ourselves when we are down. One thing at a time, one moment at a time.
Stay strong, love ya,
Laura
Dear Larry,
I find myself struggling for words to convey how happy I am for you. My congratulations to you are not merely for making it one day at a time for ten months, but for working each day at making your recovery and abstinence meaningful. The joy of a grandaughter smiling proudly at her grandpa on graduation day, the hapiness this must bring to your daughter, and this recognition of your own peace and joy are the rewards that truly matter.
I wanted to find you yesterday and today, to thank you for your recent posts, both the one on my thread and the article you shared that I posted to my thread myself. I still have to explore the links you provided as well. Through your own recovery, you are helping so many others find their way.
Congratulations Larry on your ten month milestone, but even more so congratulations on your plans to attend the graduation 🙂 May you be blessed one day at a time with recovery and its rewards.
A friend in recovery,
LauraHey Kathryn,
been a while since i popped in. Congratulations on a couple of fronts. Well now that i say that, so many really. Dealing with the tax thing, tackling each thing as you need to, keeping that positive attitude simply sparkling, braving the world of job hunting and career change, and of course reaching a milestone in your recovery.
I must say, since I have met you I will never look at ear wax or skinny jeans in quite the same way lol.
I’m proud of you!
Laura
