Now when you get an urge, it will take you a long time to figure out how to scratch it…. or better yet to kick it to the curb. Have a good Sunday…….NncyIf you pray – why worry……… If you worry – why pray.
Oh Kathryn I am so happy for you. I know you will just love it. And to be home nights with the kids. That;s great! Good things come to good people…………..NancyIf you pray – why worry……… If you worry – why pray.
Good for you Kathryn…. At the interview they will ask if you have any questions. I always try to google the company and learn all I can about them. You can also google job interviews and it will give you some ideas. Glad you didn’t give into that little jiggle of an urge…………….I am wishing you the best tonight………NancyWhen times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider: God has made the one as well as the other . . .

Hi Bettie… Coming back and writing about the slip is a step in the right direction in recovery. Most of us have had a slip or more before realizing that it is just not fun any more. I am glad you are going to self exclude from there. Learn from this slip and put it away. It has no place in your recovery………Nancy
I think most of us have had gambling dreams. Gambling was so much a part of our lives that it goes without saying that it has to come up somewhere. We are not gambling, so we are being tempted in our dreams???? I hope your friend does come here and read some of our threads. This website was the start to my recovery and I am so glad I found it and all my special friends here. I would strive to pay your friend back as soon as you can and not borrow any more money from your daughter. You’ll see a big difference now that you are not gambling. Your bills will get paid and you will have a little jingle in your pocket. Take care Bettie …. it is doable one day at a time………All is well..Nancy
Hi Bettie,
I can remember watching my husband sit on a stool in front of a machine and wonder what the heck was so interesting that he could sit there for hours. The first couple times I tried it, I thought the same thing. Then all of a sudden, I’m hooked. What? Does your friend think you are going to hit him up for money to gamble? You wouldn’t have told him about your problem if you had intentions of borrowing from him. You are right, you do need emotional support. Do you have a best friend? It is hard to fight this addiction alone. I don’t really have a best friend but I can talk to my husband. Although he is the one that showed gambling to me and he still enjoy going to the casino periodically.
Have a good day Bettie… NancyGood for you Bettie. That is a good step in the right direction.. Have a good weekend.
All is good ……..NancyHi Larry, Thank you for posting on my thread and sharing the website infomation. I just finished reading it. I try to visit all the website you and others recommend on here. They are always so informative and really help. We must eah do everything we can to stop gambling. We have to WANT to stop gambing, needing to is not enough. Once again thanks. Nancy
Hi Kathryn. Sounds like you are enjoying your life. Good for you. I think the pants you are talking about, we here in US call Elephant Leg Pants. lol… Go ahead and apply for the job. Who knows? I am going for a job interview today and have decided to let go and let God. If it is the job for me, I will get it. Otherwise, I still have applications out there. All is well………….Nancy– 3/24/2010 1:10:33 PM: post edited by howanan.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Good for you. Keep strong……….Nancy
So HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY. You came back so all is not lost. Listen to Salina. Think about the self exclusion. Think of what you have done with the money you lost. A new purse for your birthday? Glad you came back and told us. Keep stong Bettie…..NncyLearning from the past is useful. Dwelling on the past is destructive…
Bettie, You know that we are CG. This is a progressive addiction. Where $20.00 was enough to play on, it now takes many times that. And if we stop gambling for years, just like an alcholic we pick up right where we left off. We will loose everything. And I mean everything. It is just not worth that few minutes of thrill to suffer the gambling hangover. We can not place that first bet. Hope you are enjoying this weather. It is suppose to be mid sixties today here in Maryland. Have a great St. Patrick’s Day…………….All is good ..NancyLearning from the past is useful. Dwelling on the past is destructive…
Even a bad weekend is better then a gambling headache on Monday. You were with family and that is always great. I spent Sunday resting up from the granddaughters. I love them, but they never sit down. Whooooo. Have a great week Kathryn. I’ll see you on facebook………All is well……..Nancy
Glad to have you back. And of course I am happy you had a wonderful, blissful holiday.. Nancy
