Hi Kathryn
I feel for you right now.. it must be so hard K.. you are doing all you can though.. it will get better.  Time may heal it and it will soon be a distant memory and him and you can put it behind you as a tiny lesson among the many that life will bring.. I missed your group tonight, had a look but it was not on at usual time..
Anyway just want you to know that your fellow Aussie is thinking of you tonight and I hope that some good news comes your way soon and that this mess gets sorted as quickly as possible for all of you.. I think you should have a cape with a big K on the front, our own personal GT wonderwoman… hehe.. cya soon

Oh my god BETTIE!!!! I read your post and i feel so so sad for you right now.. you are struggling girl but you know you will get through.. have a big sleep and wake up to a new day and a new you.. Bettie you are so supportive of others, let us be a support to you too and believe us when we say you are not those things that you feel.. things will get better, look after you bettie and do something nice for yourself.. you do deserve it and never think otherwise.. can you get to a counsellor or seek some professional help to talk about these things that are going on, you deserve so much more than you are settling for.. better to be alone bettie than with someone who is taking you for a ride.. be strong, dont make yourself so available to him, be busy… you are worth it.. when he sees the changes in you, when you show you really dont care what he is doing then his attitude will probably change.. he probably loves the fact you are there.. be unavailable bettie and get things in your life that are good for you.. i feel like wrapping you up in a big fluffy blanket and sitting you down in front of a movie with a hot chocolate so you feel all snuggly and warm and cared for.. in my mind this is how i am seeing you .. i am wrapping you up in a big bundle of warm and fuzzy feelings in my mind and hoping that a smidge of it gets through to you…
keep posting, hope to see you soon

Hi Bettie
Hope you are feeling better now and it looks like you have given this some thought.. we can all say ditch the guy but its like wanting to stop gambling, you have to want to do it yourself.. I think you are awesome.. your personality shines through on these pages.. many times you have helped other people here, including myself and seem like a very giving person.. I like the Bettie you are.. be proud of yourself.. you are doing an awesome on job on the no gambling front.. see you soon

Hi Bettie
Hope you are feeling better soon, you are a great help to other people here and you are getting through gamble free so think of how much worse your life could be if you were still at those machines… good on you bettie, had to laugh at the cats, i know what you mean, love my puddys soooo much.. they are so wonderful.. one dive bombs me in the mornings to get me up, its usually still dark!!! but i dont mind i wake very early.. mine are very spoilt too only i think i may be in trouble with the next vet visit, they are both little fatties.. hehe bit like their owner at the moment.. working on that one too hhaha. one thing at a time one day at a time though i guess.. have a good day bettie and i really enjoy chatting in groups with you, see you soon

Hi Bettie
That must be very nerve wracking for you… it is amazing where this addiction takes people you are right and i hear stories here and at GA that scare the whatevers out of me… I used to think that wouldnt be me, but i realize all these people started where i did and who am i to say i wouldnt end up there if i kept going, even though i can think i wouldnt, this is an awful addiciton and it makes people do things they never would otherwise.. so it just spurs me on all the more and makes me thankful i am working on it now and not ten years away….
You are doing so well in your gamble free time Bettie, be proud of you..

Hi Bettie
I really feel for you right now but in your posts i saw some wonderful things, that you are recognizing these things, that in itself is a wonderful step in the right direction.. You are so worth this fight Bettie.. and you will grow stronger the more you stand up for you and what is good for you.. what about counselling.. glad you are going to GA, i find it really enjoyable now too.. maybe this week i won’t blubber hahaha.. good on you Bettie, you are a wonderful support to others here too..
