Hi Larry
Glad to hear you are ok after the tornado.. and glad to hear of your continued success in recovery… I always get something out of your posts.. they always make me think.. i like that part that GA states about crossing the invisible line, that is one thing lately that helps me the most is to remember there is no going back once we cross the line , i really did get a shock when i initially went to GA and heard those words, that was the biggest thing that clicked!  Though i still gambled a few times after it is only now that line is sinking in fully to my brain..
Your life is so much improved now.. congrats on your clean time, see you soon

I am sending you a super squishy hug, i feel like wrapping you in a blanket and giving you a hot chocolate and chatting.. I am so sorry this is happening for you at the moment.. i did have a thought, what if your husband is a CG?  maybe he goes more than he says, maybe he cant speak of it.. because he knows what you have been through?  this may not be the case at all but i know you have mentioned he gambles a couple of times.. its easy for us cg’s to hide isnt it.. it could be many reasons but this one popped out at me.. whatever it is Kathryn.. i hope it improves, you deserve that happiness now, you have worked so hard at this.. and come soooo far.. do something to feel good about you, get together with your friend, have some girl time.. play with the kids, see what pans out with hubby, he may come round.. give it some time.. it will be ok Kathryn, maybe its just a rough patch.. thinking of you

Hi Bettie
Wish i could give you a big hug and have a cuppa with you.. so i am sending you one now and i want you to catch it.. look at all the work you have been doing on yourself and how far you have come.. dont let those people at your job bring you down Bettie and know that you deserve and are capable of whatever they are too.. You look inside yourself Bettie and that is a hard thing to do sometimes, some people never have to.. but you are doing it and growing every day.. I love the dixie chicks.. now you got me singing their songs round the house.. i am up in the wee hours this morning drinking cuppas.. heeh, no one on chat so thought i would post.  Anyway hope to see you round soon, its been a while

Hi Kathryn
Sorry to hear of those urges, it gave me a shock to read that on your thread.. I find it like a bit of a torture having your husband go to your old venue.. is there anywhere else he can go?  I know people say that is ok because he isnt a cg but i find it so inconsiderate.. if he had an addiction would you do that?  seems selfish to me out of all the things he could be doing and knowing what it has done to you, anyway, thats my rant and i know you wont be gambling because you are banned but i really know that you want to… i want to almost every day!! but, i am sure you got a lot done at your place.. hehe.. with those headphones on belting out songs and doing a wiggle round the house.. I admire you Kathryn.. you have come leaps and bounds down the recovery road and faced man things along the way.. the good thing is the urges always pass.  I face them on a daily basis and am just waiting for the day i dont have any.. it is that mental battle.. i feel like i am Two people, the cg and the non cg arguing in my head.. focus on going to that comedy night and maybe ring your bestie!!! I know you always have fun with her, nothing like some girl time to take your mind of those urges.. always here for you

Hi Larry
You have done so well on this journey and have helped many people with your words.. I think of when i first started and you and i started around the same time.. my journey has panned out somewhat different to yours with my slips along the way but over all have had lots of gamble free time.. i admire your strength and persistence in recovery, also your posts and words that reach many here… your life is so different now Larry how amazing to have come so far in life
