Hi Kin ,
Bible study is a great idea.
If we follow the bible we have a great guide for life .
I’m not big into blindly following any particular religion but I do get so much help and guidance from the bible .
Keep strong .

Hi alliesmum ,
It was nice to meet you in chat the other day .
You are making amazing progress.
I can sense such a strong relationship between you and you husband , and whenever you feel guilty just remember you have got so many things right in your life .
I once read that the best gift a man can give to a child is to love their mother. You have got a good man there.

Of course the coin was meant for you- God reaches out to us in many ways and is always there to welcome us back no matter how often we make mistakes .

I also love how you get joy out of the important things in life – your children .
You are a good person alliesmum and I am so pleased you are making such great progress in your recovery .

Hi Micky ,

Be nice to read a post from you .

Hi Johnny ,
We all carry a lot of guilt for those we have hurt.
I remember a close family member who died shortly after Christmas . I remember the expression on his face when he opened my present which was quite frankly an insult .
When I remember it is like a scar reopening on my heart .
I guess at some stage we have to forgive ourselves .
I don’t know how we can do this but sometimes the memories are so painful I guess we need to .

Well done to you and to Alliesmum on your gamble free time .

Hey Mons – you haven’t ended up yet .
Out with the old – in with the new .
Stagnating means limiting opportunities .
You are beautiful inwardly and outwardly- who knows what the future holds ?

I feel GM is going to be a huge turning point – one where Monica sees what the rest of us see- a beautiful, clever , insightful and kind hearted lady – despite the knocks you have taken in life you have shown resilience, never hardened towards others and are simply quite wonderful .
When he gets used to the idea maybe you could get him out sooner – it will so good to live with your own flesh and blood – I am soooo excited for you – I feel your life is about to take off !
When it does I hope to travel on your new journey with you – I have come to so value your friendship !

Thank you Laura for your replies on my thread .
I am sorry that issues have arisen again . I genuinely don’t know why . My horns are not going to lock with anyone’s !

I have written my response and I am moving on and that’s the matter finished with as far as I am concerned. The good thing is I don’t feel terribly upset this time which means it won’t impact on my recovery.

Anyway I hope your day is going well. Thank you for taking the time to care .
Sometimes I feel alone – and then I check into GT and I see that you and a few others have been writing to me on my thread or maybe referring to me on another, and it gives me a sense of belonging . Thank you . Xxx

Hi Laura ,
I have been having a bit of a dry spell with the posting but thank you for your post on my thread .
I hear you loud and clear about behaviour changes.

Keep going Laura ! You are blazing the way for the rest of us – not only in your fight against this addiction but also in how you are realising your value and setting standards for how other must treat you ! Keep going Girl!

One week Monica – that is great.
One week for a new start .
My gp is similar – I think greed makes them take on too many patients and then they can’t get around to them all.

I hope the clouds lift !

Hi Monica,

I want to write something wise but cannot seem to think of anything – but wanted to post you anyway and say I’m thinking of you .

I understand that you must keep your health record clean to get work – and you need to be able to work again . Work, when you are well enough will restore funds , give you routine , purpose and a sense of value .

I hope you get a breakthrough soon- you deserve it

[i-did-it]

Any news Monica ?

[i-did-it]

Tomorrow by noon you will have more clarity on one problem
Which is the council debt – take it step by step Monica
.i hope that is written off – that would be a huge weight lifted .

Try to get some sleep and then after the meeting things will le clearer.
Make sure you post how it has gone .

[i-did-it]

So great to see you back Micky .
Hope you have a great 2018- and hope we all have a gamble free year

Lily ,
You have wonderful insight and a kind heart .

I work with children – many who have difficult lives and many who have difficulties which will be life long – I think that’s why your post called to me – I don’t often write on f and f.

I do believe children can be victims because they cannot choose . I do believe that some losses in life are more than we should have to bear, like the loss of a child .
I also believe that people can find peace in their lives no matter what they have been through… but it is hard and it takes time .

Your partner sounds like a good person – I guess I always want the happy ending- and who knows- you and your partner may still have it . Sometimes i think too much in black and white – it is yet another character fault I must work on.

You say you don’t deserve love more because you have had a hard time – but perhaps – and I might be wrong – after a difficult life and difficult experiences, people expect to be loved and accepted less .

– I hope love finds you – I don’t believe there is a right time for love – I don’t believe any of us are ever in the perfect place in our lives – we can just be open and let life happen .
I hope you drop into chat sometimes . I feel you have so much to offer – you have a lovely non-judgemental way of looking at things – I feel you are a very warm person with so much to give and despite everything you have suffered I don’t detect the slightest note of bitterness .
I have learned from you today . Thank you Lily

[i-did-it]

Lilly , I read your very honest post and couldn’t help but be touched by it .
You deserve the very best life has to offer – and that means someone who makes you feel secure – someone who will find a way to spend time with you and someone who understands that feelings change all the time in relationships – it isn’t all singing and dancing .
I go through times when I feel I can’t stand my husband, times when he terribly annoying , times when I love him dearly – but never a time when I doubt his love for me .
You ex- partner sounds immature – Perhaps with his gambling addiction he has not had time to mature in other ways . We have all had our edges knocked off over many years , had to lose our selfish ways and put our kids first , had to grin and bear many things like horrible bosses because we had to provide for our children . Maybe some of us learn those lessons later in life . Maybe some of us never learn .

You have had a complicated, difficult and quite insecure life – you deserve to be with someone who you can give you a sense of security- someone who no matter what mistakes you both make , you can depend on the other being there to help pick up the pieces . You deserve a totally reliable partner – you deserve to be loved for being the wonderful person you are .
You are worth a 1,000,000 mile drive .
I hope you meet someone wonderful who appreciates then absolute treasure he has found . Please keep posting and feel free to pop over to see us in the other forum .
