    Hi Bettie dont be too hard on you, i understand the weight thing it happens to me too and is right now, but you are facing addiction with smoking, give it time and it will settle back down again, like when you stopped gambling, takes a while for things to get back to normal. I think youve done amazingly well not only with gambling which is an enormous effort on its own but also not smoking, be proud of you bettie, the time will come to work on the fitness maybe its just not yet.

    Hi Bettie
    You are so much stronger than you once were and it shows in your post that you are recognizing things now too in your own behaviour and self esteem.  You are a great person with a big heart and you know we all love you Bettie.  I have humongous self esteem issues too and am really going to try to work on those with some counselling.  I also like you like to enjoy my food so have to work on that one too, but for me right now, one is all i can cope with and that is not gambling.  Phew.  You have done so well Bettie.  I admire you.

    Hi Kathryn
    What a weekend. OMG I am happy you went shopping and spent some time for you.  You really deserve it.  I love hearing about your weekends.  I have never weeded the garden either.  i would have NO idea.  The most i do is hosing and raking a small area haha.  Thats about it for me on that front.  I was thinking about planting a little tree to symbolise my journey on being gamble free.  Watch the tree grow as i do.  I hope!!!!  Feel like a little bit of growth is slowly happening, a new shoot appearing in this mind of mine.  Its going to take a looong time and i hope i am strong enough.  Nice to hear what you are doing . See you soon
