Hi Carole, What a week you had!! Things can only look up from now on. I am glad that V’s test came back good. I have been busy with my Grandson this weekend and trying to find things he can do without putting his fractured wrist in danger. We over did it at the arcade yesterday and his thumb and fingers were hurting on his bad arm. I gave him some children’s ibuprofen and it took the pain away. Staying home tomorrow as he has some homework to do. This week is a short school week for him, only 2 days. Nothing else going on! If I decide to move, I would like to get a little bigger place with a garage and inside laundry. I am glad that you were able to not gamble. The ***** I have wanted to gamble lately, I also think of what I could buy with the money instead. Take care of yourself. Talk soon.
Seize all the good things in lifeHi Kathryn and thanks for your post. I hope everything is going well with you. I believe that God will do what he deems is the right thing to do with the condo, it is in his hands now. I have put a lot of things in his hands since the death of my Husband and everything has worked out. Take care! Have a great day!Seize all the good things in life
Bettie, you’re welcomed!! Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, Danny is probably angry with himself, as he never thought you would leave. You are doing all the right things towards making a new life for yourself. Most importantly, you have a positive outlook!! When you find out the results of her medical tests would you let me know?? I’m having a sleepover tomorrow also, with my Grandson. I have the package for Bettie all ready to go but I haven’t made it to the post office yet. I am busy tomorrow so I will get it in the mail on Monday! My friend here at the condo has a dear friend who has lung cancer like my husband had. She is the same age as he was and is going through the chemo treatments. I don’t know this lady, but when my friend was talking about it, it hit me bad. I felt like crying. She can’t work and she lost her health insurance. Her husband owns a small garage and has worked on my older car before. I put some money in a card and took it over to him. He almost started to cry when he opened it up. I told him that I knew what he and his wife were going through and if there was anything I could do for them to call me. I could clean their house, take her for treatment, ect… I just felt like I needed to do something. I bet Ruffuss was overjoyed to see you. Have a good weekend!! Take care.Seize all the good things in life
Hi bdesail986, You are not a loser!! We never set out to become a cg! For me it was the inability to cope with the stresses in my life. I used gambling as a way (destructive) to escape. Be proud of yourself for being gamble free for a week. Have you thought of going to GA meetings? Just a suggestion. I found them to be very helpful. Also, if you could have someone you trust take care of your finances, bank and atm cards. Limit you access to cash. Keep posting and reading threads here. Keeping busy helped me also. Stay strong!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, I received your fb message! It is so hot here today. I went out to water my plants and came in sweating!!! Staying inside today. Oh, you will be glad to see Ruffuss tomorrow! Take care and enjoy your group tonight. Seize all the good things in life
Hi Cat!! Thanks for your recent post! I hope to meet you one day also. I love retirement. I took a early retirement at my Husband’s urging 4 years ago at the age of 51. (He could of retired also, as we both worked for the same company for a lot of years, but he kept working and passed before he did) I seem to be more busy now!! I don’t regret it at all. I am sure when you retire that you will keep busy doing things you enjoy. I plod along too, one day at a time. I think that is all we can do!! I am still trying to find my way, now that I am alone. It’s strange sometimes where our journey in life takes us. Gambling brought me here to GT and to friends like you who have helped me through some dark days after my Husband’s death. I will forever be thankful. Take care of yourself Cat, you are special.Seize all the good things in life
Hi Carole, I emailed you earlier!! I am proud of you for going back to the recovery support group. I think that you are handling the changes in your life better than you think you are. You are changing almost everything in your life. I am not as lonely living alone as I was in the beginning . Time does help!! I bought a toy organizer yesterday and it is still sitting unassembled in the box!! LOL!!! I want to be there for my Daughter as she is going through a lot but I must still keep the boundaries I have set up in place. I had a upset stomach after talking to her, hearing the horrible things my Sister, her Aunt, said to her and in front of her son, my Grandson. She didn’t deserve that!! Yoga sounds fun!!! Maybe I should try it. Remember to be kind to yourself. We tend to forget to take care of ourselves!!!Seize all the good things in life
