Hi Monica
You deserved your spending spree after a day like that- I hope you can finally get your health issues sorted. They have been lingering and it seems the health service moves very slowly .

I love monsoon- what did u buy ?
You have made he most amazing progress.
Can I thank you for the chat last night – I feel so my better today as the shocked feeling seems to have been released.
It has helped me greatly .

Monica – better to have an escape with nice new clothes than the less than nothing gambling gives us xx

Привет, Моника. После такого дня вы заслужили свою суматоху. Надеюсь, вы наконец-то решите свои проблемы со здоровьем. Они затянулись, и кажется, что служба здравоохранения движется очень медленно. Я люблю сезон дождей – что ты купил? Вы добились поразительных успехов. Могу я поблагодарить вас за беседу вчера вечером – сегодня я чувствую себя лучше, так как чувство шока, кажется, исчезло. Это мне очень помогло. Моника – лучше сбежать с красивой новой одеждой, чем то, что азартные игры почти ничего не дают xx

Привет, Моника. Я знаю, что сейчас трудное время. Надеюсь, с тобой все в порядке. Будьте добры к себе – это ужасная вещь, с которой придется столкнуться. Надеюсь догнать тебя на выходных. Не публиковал много длинных рассказов. Обсуждение скоро xx

Hi Lizbeth
Sorry to read you feel low- you are definitely not insignificant.you are a valued mother, grandmother and daughter even when it doesn’t feel like it .
You are also valued on this site even when people aren’t posting much. I seem to go through dry spells with posting. – usually when life is a struggle I post less.
It sounds like a good idea to visit your doctor – I hope you feel a lot better soon xx

Hi Cathy
I am so pleased to read about the progress your son has made.
He has a strong supportive mum behind him.
It’s amazing how much life can change – sometimes when it seems thing will never get better.
You deserve to be able to enjoy his recovery . Xx

Извините, что опубликовал середину предложения – я хотел бы поболтать с вами, чтобы узнать больше о том, как конкретно, по вашему мнению, программа проживания помогла вам – я надеюсь, что, возможно, поеду туда летом. Моника – Я так рада, что жизнь изменилась для тебя – я думаю, что лучше быть одному, чем быть несчастным с кем-то. Я чувствую, что Бог приведет в вашу жизнь многих замечательных людей. Он позаботился обо всем остальном. Сохраняйте силу и наслаждайтесь жизнью, ради достижения которой вы так усердно трудились. Ps- приятно снова видеть тебя, Вера.

Sorry that posted mid sentence –

I would like chat to you to hear more about how specifically you felt the residential program helped you – I am hoping to maybe go there over the summer .

Monica -I am so pleased life has turned around for you – I think being alone is better than being unhappy with someone . I feel God will bring many wonderful people into your life . He has looked after everything else .

Keep strong and enjoy the life you have worked so hard to achieve .

Ps- nice to see you back Vera .

Поздравляю вас с важной вехой, Моника – в какое путешествие вы прошли. Я зарегистрировался в группе, но она была пуста – кажется, много лет с тех пор, как я догнал людей. Сегодня меня засыпают посланием о том, что Иисус есть путь. Этим утром разговаривал с онлайн-наставником, затем на мессе проповедь была о зависимостях, и на этот раз это было действительно интересно (другой священник, смеется), а теперь и ваш пост. В массе я чувствовал, что проповедь написана специально для меня. Так что, возможно, Бог всегда посылает мне большой знак! Вы прошли долгий путь, и я считаю правильным делом свидетельствовать о том, как построение / восстановление отношений с Иисусом помогло вам. Я бы хотел

Congratulations on your milestone Monica – what a journey you have been on . I checked into group but it was empty – seems ages since I caught up with people .

I am being bombarded today with the message that Jesus is the way .
This morning talking to an online mentor, then at mass the sermon was on addictions and for once it was actually interesting (different priest lol) and now your post . In mass I felt the sermon has been written just for me .

So perhaps God is al k tsending me a big sign !

You have been on quite a journey and I feel it is the right h no to do to give your testimony of how building/ rebuilding a relationship with Jesus has helped you .

Hi Leedslad,
I have read that one of the reasons AA and similar organisations are not so successful anymore is that most groups out their own spin on things rather than following the original format – I hated that they called everyone’s name and when they came to yours you felt obliged to speak – the whole meeting was lost to me as I was worried about speaking.

You are in an extremely fortunate position and I wish I could go back and stop when I still had the capacity to make any withdrawal. This disease will only get worse so do everything you can to arrest it now – if you are having wins like £5k then you know you are gambling high stakes .

It is great that you are in a position where you are stopped and financially ok. The addiction gets to us like that – many’s a person who lost thousands chasing their first tenner !

Let the 1100 go – you are in a most fortunate situation .
And well done on recognising that you have a problem before things got worse !

Aw get well soon- I have wasted today with a hangover -need to grow up I think !
Well done on your gamble free time.
I am binge watching Suits on Netflix- never watched it before and cannot believe how good it is!

Talk soon

Aw Monica, reading about Pete made me feel a tad sad – so I fully understand you feel this way. It’s the end of an era – or who knows – perhaps it’s the start of a better era- where u can have a friendship which is uplifting for both of you.

It’s been a long time since you were the sole key holder . It will feel strange and maybe very liberating .

You are fully in control of your own destiny now Monica !
You steer that ship !

It’s horrible being without hot water !
Do u have anywhere u can shower ?

Wow look at how much your life has changed .
Well done Monica !

thank you Paul for taking the time to write such a considered and respectful response – The forums have indeed been very positive – and therefore extremely helpful.
I guess we are all feeling frustrated about the groups as sometimes it’s nice to connect in real time and with groups often being so limited it means either taking time out from what we should be doing (which is something we are trying very hard to change ) or staying up too late .

I look forward to when groups are on full-time and members can have some element of control over when they meet. I also echo Laura’s point that it does currently feel a little like we are being treated like small kids incapable of making such a decision .

It seems silly having a meeting place when there is no opportunity to meet !
Looking forward to the change and many of us have already (last year ) submitted the feedback form on this topic .

Thank you again .
