Hi Bettie
I know this person has said you had abstinence not recovery, that was one persons opinion, my opinion is that that statement was total crap!! You had worked recovery, been going to meetings, working with a sponsor, connecting here, and helping others here too, and that is abstinence, not recovery…palease!!!! how rude. I think you have done a fantazimo job at your RECOVERY. You had one blip in all that time Bettie, you should be so proud of you, wow, we are all human and i think you are a wonderful one. I struggle to get one month at times let alone all the time you had and still have, you are just continuing on

Hi Reds
Was nice to see you in chat and probably wouldnt have had i not been awake at 2 45am. Could not sleep due to squeeling bats outside the window, so got to bed at 3 30am and got up at 6 so i am a little sleep deprived. But it gave me the opportunity to see people i normally wouldnt see at that time. Keep going with your recovery, here is to a gamble free 2012

Hi Cat i was sorry to read of your slip but i am glad that you came straight back here. It is hard saying you have done it again, i know, ive done it many many ***** as you know but the good thing is you have again stopped and got straight back onto recovery again. You did so well and that time is still there, your ldg date has just changed that is all. Hope to see you round chat again one day soon

Awwww GT i was so happy to see such lovely posts this morning, thank you!!! Well Christmas is over, New years is over and it is now 2nd January and i feel kind of relieved. Having a cuppa this morning, didnt quite make getting all done by 2012 but got about 3/4 of all of it done. Starting on the lists again, making a list each morning of what to do because if i do it seems to get done more often than if i just have a mental list in my head.
Nice to come here and be gamble free today, working very hard at it. Doing lots of meetings, coming here lots, really trying to get myself to move forward and it is coming together slowly in little baby steps. Learning to be happy with baby steps today. Thanks again for all the replies makes my heart all mushy today!!!
