Hi Kathryn
So glad you are loving the job.  I would miss a tiny bit of that day at work if it meant you could self exclude again.   Please do it before the date is up if you can.  My heart skipped a beat when i read you had thoughts, crikey, not Kathryn.  I guess you are a bit of an icon here heheh.. I so look up to your recovery, you have gone the distance and you should be sooooo proud of yourself.  Some people never get out of that hole they are in.  Can someone go with you to self exclude again?  I think you are very strong.  You seem strong in character to me, a great person to know.  I am proud to have a friend like you here.  Do all you have to to stay on the wagon girl!!!!  I believe in you.

Hi Bettie
Was really nice to see you on chat again. I had to laugh at all our weight issues etc, I was sitting there with crackers and dip while the chat was on saying , gee i have gained some weight as i shovelled in another cracker.  What a laugh!  You are going for your third chat way to go.  I can only catch the nightime ones here sometimes so i am soooo glad there will be a daytime one here next week.  It is a little dream come true for me.  yippppeeeeeee.  Hey you are doing great Bettie.  You are not gambling, and you are here posting and chatting all the time.  Yey for Bettie you are making it through, remember how far you have come to when you were at those boats and you came back in distress.  Here is to our gamble free days Bettie, lets keep going!

Hi Kathryn
Just popping in for a cuppa and a chat hehe.  So glad about the job, it sounds hectic with your hours, all sounds good for you at the moment, you will get that loan sorted Kathryn, it will take time but it will work out, as long as you are gamble free.  You are, and you are doing fantastic.  I had another close call today, phew!! but i am back home doing dishes and vaccuming instead, have a good day

Hehehe Bettie
You are a funny one!  I had a little giggle at that post.  You are doing great.  I had a very close call this morning but glad i can say that now and be safe at home.  Hey talking weight gain, when i gambled, i think it is the only time in my life i didnt eat.  I love food, i love to eat.  I would sit at a machine for hours and hours and not think food.  I didnt care if i ate or not, now, well, i have gained some weight.  Quite a bit, but am working on that too but worrying more about not gambling at the moment.  The weight i will get to eventually.  Hey, you are not gambling Bettie, be proud!

Hey Bettie
I too miss those machines some days like you wouldnt believe!  but in the end i know that being there with them is going to cause way too much misery and i try to remember the last time i thought it would be fun to go try again!  It was not fun!

Hi Kathryn
Wow. You sound so busy!  as always.  i hope you do get some time in for you too somewhere in amongst all the busyness.  Maybe you could slot in a massage or a pedicure or a hair appointment, something indulgent for our Kathryn is needed i feel.  Dont stray too far from us miss, we would miss you waaaay too much.  Good on you for pushing forward in your life, you have made some major changed my fellow Aussie and you have handled them all beautifully.

Hi Bettie
Sounds like you are going through something at the moment.  I love my food too Bettie, I definately notice when i eat junk the effect on me.  We gotta look after ourselves Bettie.  One trick i have found is always making sure i have healthy food in the house.  Eating it before i go out too.  Take a healthy snack with you for the road, or maybe you could take lunch with you where you are going.  just a suggestion, sometimes i pig out on junk, its ok once in a while but all the time will make you feel worse.  Anyway just wishing you all the best and hope you are feeling good soon
You are doing so well on the gambling Bettie

Hi Bettie
I so relate to what you are saying, how  many times have i thought i could go back and just spend a little, it never happens, ever!  but some part of the brain still says we can and i guess that is the compulsive part of our illness.  It definately is an illness isnt it.  i am off to a meeting tonight, doing everything i can to stay strong.  On we go Bettie, dont look back
