Hey Kathryn,
glad to hear the surgery went well and that you will have the rest of the week off to rest and heal. Hopefully we catch up before your trip but if not, have a great, great, great time! Although I know I don’t have to tell you that! Laura xoHey Bettie,
good to hear that your hard work and continued efforts are paying off in your improved health! I’m happy that your family is pulling together in support of your sister. Keep up the great work Bettie I’m proud of you xo LauraGood morning Bettie,
I had a sleep in this morning, working a night shift so don’t go in til much later. I’ve been in a terrible mood the past couple days as well. One son has finally made it through the teenage years and the other is starting to really get under my skin. My oldest pointed out that at least this is the last one I have to go through! Thank God cause he’s managed to make my blood boil several times in the last 3 days.
Well B, I started this earlier this morning and just had the day get away from me with other things. Catch you tomorrow if you are around. xo LauraMorning Bettie,
I”m finishing up my holidays. Did doc say whether you need surgery to fix knee or will it get better with physio and TLC? I barely made it 5% of what I wanted to accomplish while i was off. But i’m better organized than I was when i went off. Your borrowed post above is good info, for anyone fighting any addiction, I like the way it is specific to gambling addiction though, good reminder of what i don’t want to go through again. Catch you soon.
Laura xoHi Bettie,
I posted to you this morning, not sure how it didn’t “stick”… But wow new food for thought. I will be on tomorrow, will set my clock to make sure I don’t pull a sleep in. Sounds like some pretty deep feelings are being acknowledged…. Sometimes I get tired of being me too….. I hear ya xo B, sounds like maybe there can be some movement now though. Talk soon, good vibes being sent your way.
LauraGood morning Larry,
How sly is our addiction that it would pick the middle of the night under the cover of darkness to try and convince you to slide back into that old pattern. I’m glad to hear that you have strengthened your supports, reinforcing your commitment to a gamble free life, one that allows you to wake without regrets for the night before. Your strength and support have helped countless others, but I am so glad to see that you are using your thread to get the support that you need. Stay strong, stay safe! (c)
Laura(((((((((((((((((( B ))))))))))))))))))))))) I often wonder… how do we stop self destructive behaviour as a whole? Instead of trading one kind for another? Still working on that one myself B. As far as the idiot part, if you mean you made a scene because of the way he treated you at the party, well, better than accepting his awful behaviour. If he invited you he should have been there with you not mixing and mingling on his own the whole night. Hope your first day back to work is bearable.
take care,
Laurahi Bettie,
sorry i missed you too! I was miss in demand this morning for some reason. I was out in my garden early trying to get everything in before the rain. I just made it. Have some planters left to do but that can wait til next nice day. I have no idea why you have a headache, where was i suppose to read. I think I”m social media challenged! Hope you had a good evening out. I’ll try and pop on in a few hours after my supper. Will check for you then. xo LauraGood morning Bettie,
I’ve had a terrible first few days of vacation. I’m exhausted and not in the best humour but will spare you the details! Now I am hoping to spend the next few days relaxing! So the whole passport picture thing. I don’t think anyone likes their passport photo. Mine is brutal. I think the requirements ensure that every little imperfection is magnified. I absolutely love Larry’s advice to you above and it is advice that a lot of us could take to heart. I am trying to deal with an unhealthy attitude or use of food. I’m almost certain i’m a sugar addict. And I’m in a cycle of binging at the moment. I am trying to use all that i have learned in Gambling addiction recovery. A work in progress!!!!
Enjoy using that passport when it arrives 🙂
xo LauraHey Kathryn,
you are starting your weekend, I still have Friday at work to get through. But I’m on holidays next week, at home of course, I rarely go anywhere but I’m ok with that right now. Wanted to spread some love too, Hey B where is mine?
Now time to get ready for work! luv ya xo
LauraHey Bettie,
I wish you did have your passport! I am off next week too. You could have come here for a visit too. I would have shared with expenses! Although I should take my own advice. Mine expired this year, I need to get it renewed just in case! I am saving up for a trip and should be able to take one in the fall or early winter.
Question for you… do you have your spare room cleaned out yet? Just wondering, in case you need room for guests! I’m planning on continuing the declutter while I’m off. Work in the garden, relax on the deck. Just take it easy and make things better for my life when I go back to work. And of course to be more organized for my next vacation which I have booked already and plan to enjoy this vacation spot where I live. Will set my clock and have a look for you tomorrow am. luv ya B, take care,
LauraGood morning Larry,
it has been quite some time since i’ve stopped by for a cuppa a and catchup. I have not posted so much these days because it doesn’t always fit into my life now that i’m back to work. I continue with physical therapy and sorting out my home. Gambling addiction combined with illness and disability let my home get into an very very disorganized state. I am working on being able to open up my home to guests so that i can continue to expand my social interactions. I have close family coming to stay with me this summer and i’m very looking forward to. I would not have welcomed this company if I were gambling! So glad that I found recovery! It’s good to read that you are starting to be able to replace regrets with memories when it comes to thinking of your French family. Peace of mind seems to fit with recovery at some point. Glad we are both working on having more of that in our life. (c) enjoy my friend and have a good day!
take care,
Lauraheya Bettie,
you had a most productive day yesterday, and perfect blood sugar is good. Now dizzy i don’t like. Don’t get too much sun, you know what you need to do to take care of you at this party. Sorry i missed you this morning. LauraHi Bettie,
I’m here, slept in a little, see you have been around a little early today. Just putting my coffee on if you are still around xo
LauraGood morning Kathryn,
it is mother’s day here today, the 13th. And sad to say but since my kids grew above the age of children who make homemade gifts in school i haven’t had a mothers day present. It has always been a day like any other. Maybe breakfast in bed once or twice, toast or something lol. So I’m happy to hear that your children make it a special day as it should be. I will visit with my mum and sisters later and enjoy a little treat. Sorry to hear how crappy you were feeling. Hope you are well on the mend. Don’t work too hard this week! xoxo Laura
