Hi Bettie, hope you had a good day. I haven’t started the steps yet, I have read them all, but have not gotten a sponser either. That’s the decision I’ve made for now. I go to alanon once a week, GA meetings 3 times a week. This is what is working for me at the time (123 days), and I don’t always agree with other CG’s views at the meetings. I believe in a higher power, read books on addiction, go to a recovery church every few weeks. I think it is hypocritical for others to say you have to do your recovery this way or it’s wrong. Thanks for your prayers! I hope you didn’t think that I was going to gamble, when I last posted. I was just feeling overwhelmed, it seems to just be pouring bad news, but we are praying that he will be ok. In fact we know how lucky we are that he is alive.Seize all the good things in life
OH, that vacation sounds like heaven!! Sounds like things are going well for you. Take care!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Bettie, you know what I think of your friend? You are too good for him, you know you deserve the best. I was wondering how your Neice is doing? She has been on my mind lately, and brought up some of my hidden demons, things I haven’t dealt with, but seem to have been surfacing. I don’t think I can put them on a shelf again and ignore them. I think it’s time to deal with them. I’m a fixer also Bettie. I’ve only started putting myself first lately. Paint your kitchen, it will brighten up your surroundings.

Bettie, that was soo awesome for you to give that lady your shoes. I ran into a guy with a small child in the parking lot of the grocery store today. He gave me a story, I don’t know if it was true or not. I only know the little girl was soo precious. I gave him half of my allowance money for the week. He probably needed it more than me. It did make me feel good. You know why I like you soo much? You tell it like it is. That’s what I needed, when I met you on my first day here. So, if you offended someone, maybe they didn’t want to hear what needed to be said. Take care!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Bettie, missed you on chat today. Have a good day!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Kathryn, I know, the medical bills are outrageous, but I am lucky to have insurance. I can see how a major illness could cause you to go bankrupt. Also, my cardiologist is one of the best here. So, I will deal with the $4000 debt. I will make payments, and get healthy again. I know, I’m going on about my debts, and you are dealing with yours also. We will both keep trudging on and will be debt free one of these days. Boy, I will be celebrating on that day!! Have a good day!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Bettie, yes the hospital bills keep coming, add another one to the list, $5000 for the cardiologist, thought he was included in the $88,000. Good news, I don’t have to pay any of the $5000, it is covered by the insurance company. I haven’t actually received a bill yet, I am seeing this all on my insurance provider online. It just blows my mind, how much it costs, you see I have never been in the hospital but for having my children. The legs are next, whatever it takes, I will owe 15% of the costs. I will find out sometime in March, after all tests are done, but something is not right, I can feel it. Anyway, enough of this. Hope you are doing well!!! You know in my GA group, there are the finantics, people in the middle, and the ones who never say much. I’m in the middle too, taking it one day at a time, believe in a higher power, and I have my own opinion too, I don’t always agree with everything being said. I don’t have a sponser yet, and I feel far from a failure. It’s kind of sad, it could really be a turn-off for some people. Seize all the good things in life
Hi Bettie, I am soo sorry about what happened to your niece. Thank goodness she had the courage to tell someone. I would go crazy if anyone molested a family member of mine, especially another family member. It is awesome that you are willing to share your story with your neice, you could be a real comfort for her. Take care.Seize all the good things in life
Hi Kathryn, at least you tried. 3 years isn’t long, then you will be debt-free. I know how tiring it is, and how impatient we get. We will be debt-free May 2012, and it has been a long haul. Our credit is not very good, but we are now paying our bills on time, with money left for groceries, and extras. Stay positive!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Bettie, your inspiring me again. Did my first low impact work out, and I’m not going to gripe about it. I’m going to suck it up and do it again tommorrow. Everything is going well for me. Hope you had a wonderful day!!Seize all the good things in life
Hi Kathryn, I hope you get the loan. All you can do is try.Seize all the good things in life

Hi Bettie, hope you are feeling better. Actually, we have a Trader Joe’s right down the street from our condo. I will get some dark chocolate bars to help with the cravings. Yeah, what’s up with chat lately? Real slow!!! Take care!!Seize all the good things in life
