    Hi Kathryn
    You are right it is so fantastic isnt it, I am beginning to see those changes in my life too.  Its been since the 6 Nov 09 now for me and i wouldnt have done it without the support here either.  You were especially supportive of me when i started you know i appreciate it.  Brea must be over the moon with excitement.  Not only did you have the money for her test but the time too to take her for all those driving lessons.  Good on you Kathryn.  I love this GT world.  See you on the new chat line maybe hey.  P – living and learning

    Hi Kathryn
    I have been on this forum ALLLLLL night!  I have insomnia so managed to grab the 3am chat and now waiting for the 5am.  Oh i am going loopy with delirium right now but happy i am not gambling.  I cant believe how much better life is getting i am so excited.  How is the diet going for you?  I have started one too, well i say just healthy eating, next step is to up the exercise a bit for me, some of the others here have been exercising and its inspiring me and you have inspired me with your diet.  4 kilos is amazing!  yey.  Hey i bet you are so proud of Brea, you sound like such a good mum.  Thanks for helping me be gamble free Kathryn .  Im just having a cuppa and going to another group session.  See you soon

    Hi Kathryn
    Good luck Brea!  Will be sending those good thoughts to her in 4 hours, going for your license is such an exciting but nerve wracking experience isnt it, i remember i was terrified.  I was so terrified i went through a round a bout the wrong way round, tell me how someone can do that?  haha. 
    Today is a day of yet more cleaning for me there is still stuff all over this floor to be sorted.

    Hi Larry
    I loved your post.  Describing you being amongst places where you could have gambled but you didnt!  Way to go Larry.   You really are doing a wonderful job of your recovery.  I admire how far you have come and your strength in situations.  Im coming along ok too but i have had some massive urges recently but they seem to have faded off into the distance as i write this today.  One day at a time certainly changes lives.  Thanks for being part of my journey too Larry

    Hi Katherine
    You sound great.  Isnt it funny how walking round the shops and having a coffee are so satisfying to us now.  In some ways i can see how us being CG’s has actually enriched ourlives for the better in some ways.  Maybe we would never appreciate these small moments so much if we hadnt been down that road.  Glad to hear you are happy now but never worry if you are not, im like a see saw.  My moods change all the time but whatever they are im so glad to be in this non gambling world than before.  Look forward to seeing you on chat maybe?

    Hi Kathryn
    How was the movie? I hope that you are feeling ok.  Im like a rollercoaster on here, one day i am fine the next im like a raving loony.  Im too scared to look back at all my posts they are so all over the place.  Your posts no matter what mood you are in are always a pleasure to read.  We can all see the shining Katherine, so your light has not been shining so brightly lately, but its still a beautiful light, if it was bright all the time it would run out of brightness.  Whether your moods are shiny or dull that piece of Kathryn that is caring and strong still manages to shine through no matter what.  You have shed many rays of sunshine my way and usually just at the right time!
    Ps i think ive gone a bit far with this cleaning frenzy, the entire contents of my cupboards and drawers are now covering the entire floor.  Oh boy do i have some work to do haha.

    Hi Larry
    I hope you had a good time at the MG.  Are you home yet?  I hope you had an amazing time.  I guess it would be different without your friend you usually go with.  But lots has changed hasnt it in your life.  So many changes over this past six months that i am sure you are strong enough to handle what comes your way.  You have done so well Larry.  I am waiting to see another post to see what happened.  I loved how you broke down your months in explanation.  Six months is awesome!  You are a valued member here of this community Larry.

    Hi Larry
    You have done so well six months is amazing!  Long way from those horrible days of destruction hey, but I know we can never become complacent.  Have been having some thoughts lately but squashed them now thankfully.  Have fun at your MG Larry!  Woohooo, no gambling lets celebrate!
