    We will get a chat and work on a plan – I have been going though job agency sites – i saw some jobs that might suit you. I think there is lots of hope – I wish we could meet. I feel strongly that you are on verge of a breakthrough .

    moulding and preparation .
    Rem if the shoe was on the other foot you would not care whether your sister had a present or not !

    Hi Monica ,
    Thank you for such a lovely post.
    This is what motivates me in GT – people who offer sincere support which encourages rather than tells us what we already know in a lofty manner- I detest being spoken to like I am a complete idiot – I am only an idiot when it comes to my gambling addiction .

    I don’t know why I feel guilty – I think maybe it’s the fact that we are made to feel that nothing less than gamble free is good enough – in all I have spent thirty euro- I enjoyed spending it. I need to normalise how I think about gambling .

    Monica, I am so glad you sought help – in doing so it shows that u are not ready to give up -your circumstances have been really awful – however a new year will bring change – a fresh start.
    Did u get money for the electricity ? What are your plans for Christmas Day?
    I have started painting. I am back on track for my “business venture “I talked to you about. I love painting and decorating as much as I hate housework -.it amazes me that I become like super woman – full of energy – although I am rather more stiff than I used to be going up and down those steps .

    I am so glad you are finding God – he has a plan for you – maybe not the one you would chose for yourself – maybe with your skills in public speaking he has plans for you to be an advocate for people who find themselves in difficult circumstances- God had given you a great brain , great presentation skills, a kind heart and great compassion .
    It occurs to me that you could the director of a national charity .

    I hope you are in better spirits today and feeling the love of God

    Hi Monica ,
    I have been following the threads on and off-
    I was just watching and thinking no one even noticed I am not here – so I am so grateful for your post.
    I am kinda low myself right now and don’t want to drag others down .
    I tend to retreat into myself when things aren’t great – I am starting to realise this is a character flaw .
    Also this has been the most incredibly busy week of my year .
    My work days roll into nights !
    I have been gambling. Not tragic amounts – but it is dragging me down as I have so much guilt associated with it . All the drama in here has taken its toll. I don’t really feel like posting anymore.
    I was really upset to read how bad things had got for you after your visit to your daughters but just didn’t seem able to find the right words – think I’m having one of my GT dry spells .

    Thank u for noticing I haven’t been here – hope to meet u in chat over the weekend – if they work !

    Well done Tina – it was a difficult day and one which you were dreading but you did it . I’m not sure why you don’t feel relieved – maybe you feel your partner hasn’t fully processed everything yet .
    However , he clearly wants to help you and that is a massive support-
    You have received lots of good advice today .

    Hi Monica,
    Sorry I didn’t go to the twelve group last night – I had to be up earlier than usual because of the snow .
    It is good to read you are feeling better .

    You are not a weirdo P.
    Maybe you just need a little “p” time .

    There seems to be so many people telling us how we should live or lives nowadays – so many rules – that we will always fall short .
    When u feel like it you will go out .
    I have become very fond of sitting in too.

    What a great achievement Monica – wow !
    Your sons and daughter are just giving back a little of what Mum has given to them over the years – they know it .
    What a great challenge – and if anyone can – Monica can .
    I did wonder if u were ok – I had a kinda feeling all was not good so I am delighted to see you back here .
    Monica if you knew how wonderful you are – how much people think of you – I love that you look at the world in your own way and don’t follow blindly . I love that you stand up and aren’t afraid to speak out when u see injustice – and u know what Monica – my mum always says where there’s life there is hope .
    I believe in miracles.

    Monica ,
    You have the support of your children because they love you and they need you – their mum.
    How awful it would have been for them if today they couldn’t have taken their mum out . You are needed .
    You daughter turned to her mum for advice about what marriage – you are so needed.
    I read your post on Charles thread – I know you have been hit very hard by lack of money – I know this has dragged you down no end – I can identify with this as money is important to me for the luxuries it can buy.
    However you don’t have nothing – you have a family who love and support you – and that’s a great Christmas gift – to see and understand how much you mean to them .
    I wish I could help you more – but I have missed you so much on this site – you have also become important to me and I value your support – I hope you feel it is returned .
    Keep strong my friend -hope to see you in 10pm chat .

    Maybe that should read year and half – I can’t actually remember – but I remember it was a May when something clicked – despite my regressions – it was a turning points of sorts for me – not there yet – may never be – but mostly making better choices .

    Thank you Laura – I seem to need soooo much support – I feel I am forever online – but like you say I am home and not wasting money – I have self banned from so many sites that when I last tried I couldn’t find a new one to join- so I guess I am being forced into being gamble free. Lol

    Lizbeth, ljudi prepoznaju tvoje nove granice. Bravo za tvoju mamu- možda i ona drugačije razmišlja o stvarima. Kakva sjajna sestra – moja mlađa sestra mi je najbolja prijateljica, pa shvaćam. Zvučite tako pozitivno – drugi će uskoro prepoznati granice – istina je ako se ne volimo dovoljno – pretpostavljam da drugi primjećuju i odnose se prema nama kako očekujemo. Dobro napravljeno !

    Lizbeth, människor känner igen dina nya gränser. Bra jobbat med din mamma- kanske hon tänker på saker annorlunda också. Vilken underbar syster – min yngre syster är min bästa vän, så jag förstår det. Du låter så positiv – andra kommer snart att känna igen gränserna – det är sant om vi inte älskar oss själva tillräckligt – jag antar att andra märker och behandlar oss hur vi förväntar oss. Bra gjort !
