Morning Bettie,
I’ve been up early and on the PC for too long now, but am waiting to see if you land 🙂 Will do some stretches while i wait. Sun is up and shining and gorgeous. A walk is next up on the agenda. Fight your diabetes with food as much as you can. Learn about foods that can help keep your blood sugars level. I’ll send you a couple links this weekend. I just have to find them! You are right, not going down without a fight! Bettie you are a strong person, you can find a way. Poor baby (the new car)! Is it small enough to do a little touch up with matching paint from your local auto shop? Wish I could join you all for the conference. Will see where the next one is 🙂 Talk soon i hope B, its been wayyyy to long.
xo Lauraglad to hear that you made it back safe and and sound Larry 🙂 I wish I could come to the conference as well but have another commitment that weekend. God bless!
LauraWohooo B! Glad you have treated yourself too. Just keep taking care of yourself the best you can B, you are doing awesome. Proud of you not obsessing or begging for forgiveness…about what i’m not sure, haven’t read back too far… but glad you are recognizing lots of times its other people’s issues. No need to carry the world, gets rather heavy. Just got back, catch up Sat morning if we both are up! xo enjoy your pressies.
xo LauraHope you are having the time of your life Larry, or at least one of them! These days of freedom are even more precious now that we have regained them. I too enjoyed some time away but am glad to be back home. Made it through the trip gamble free and really urge and temptation free. Hope you are enjoying coffee in New Orleans 🙂
LauraSlap! Oh, sorry, you aren’t feeling guilty yet LOL
Will definitely remind you sweetie that you deserve to be treated like a queen every day. It was good to catch up even for a few minutes. ((((((((((((((((((((( K )))))))))))))))))))))
Happy Valentines Day!
luv LauraDear Larry,
stopping by to share in a cuppa and catch up. So glad to hear that you are not facing a day two still a day away. I have been dealing with a lot of challenges lately but continue to plug ahead. Good to hear you can enjoy sports again for what they are. Good to see your posts as always!
take care,
LauraMorning B,
hoping to catch you. talk soon!
LauraDear Bettie,
Quitting smoking has got to be one of the hardest things ever. Your smoke free time is not in vain the same as your gamble free time is not in vain. Before you "abstained" from gambling for so long (and for the record, i don’t think you can say that you didn’t spend time in recovery no matter what your sponsor thinks) could you hve imagined not gambling for a year and having it feel normal? Not time wasted my friend! You have gained ground. It must have been truly painful for both yourself and Jen to have that little one taken away so fast. It is making Jen think though isn’t it, that she deserves more. And you too? Enjoy those tulips Bettie, if i could have sent them to you I would have. So when you say you have a secret admirer you won’t be fibbing. I do admire you B.
take care,
LauraEnjoy the game B! talk soon xo
LauraMorning B,
I’m so sorry to hear that you are feeling unwell. I know how the physical ailments can add to the struggle of being a CG in recovery. Life and recovery take so much energy and then to add physical illness to it is hard. Could you be depressed B? Discuss that with your doc as well. I’m concerned about your not having the energy to get out of bed even though you make yourself for work. Stay strong my friend, you have accomplished sooooooooo much. I hope you get some answers next week.
take care xo
LauraThanks Kathryn! I will hold you to that, hope they have lots of spray. I got over my temporary insanity quickly thank heavens. By the time the day ended it was like the crazy urge that had hold of me had never happened. A blessing there. Have a good day at work tomorrow! I’m off today and being lazy i think.
take care,
LauraGood morning Bettie,
glad to see you even if it just for a few minutes. I too almost gambled, on Thursday. I actually tried. See my post to Kathryn if you are curious. Hang tough girl.
Laura xoWell Kathryn, I had almost had myself convinced that maybe i would be brave enough to go to Australia some day, but then you had to go and talk about those darn big spiders again. OMG to me that would be like having the boogey man under my bed. I don’t know if i could sleep at night wondering if there was a HUGE spider under there. EEK!
It has been a long week with a lot of pain for me. Almost gambled. Actually went looking for little hidy hole venues. Just my luck the first was closed for remodeling and the second didn’t seem to have any machines. Then it was time for an appointment. By the time the appointment was over the insanity had passed. I can’t believe i was that close. I am glad i’ve spent the morning here in chat and that i posted this to you. Someone to hold me accountable!
Hope you had a great day, talk soon.
Laura xoDear Kathryn,
i was a lazybones today and had a sleep in. I was up a bit late last night for a change but i need to make up for it on the other end! I am so happy to hear that you had a great weekend. Life without gambling. Makes the good times better and the bad times faceable. Wish I could have been there!
I’m sure the boys will be all set and ready to go. I hope their first day of school goes brilliantly for them. Especially your young man starting high school. And I hope mom makes it through the day waiting to see how he made out!
And if you are reading this with your morning coffee have a great smoke free day!
xo Laura 🙂Good morning Larry,
stopping by for a morning cuppa, hope you are enjoying your new coffee maker and all that it represents! I can’t imagine having to try and substitute cola for coffee in the am! When my coffee maker broke i had to cave and get a take out coffee in the morning. I would make the round trip of 5 minutes in my pjs. Through the drive thru of course. Im glad to hear that your daughter is including you in her facebook. It is another step, although i can understand your concerns in seeing her be a teenager. It can be an awkward time where you think the whole world is looking at you and judging you. So you put on the tough exterior. I hope your daughter has healthy self confidence and healthy self image. The fact that her father wants to be in her life will only help that. Keep enjoying the positive things, like her beautiful photography. Have a great gamble free day Larry and congrats on your continued recovery!
xo Laura
