Thinking of you P.!
Prayed for you especially at Mass this morning. A sinner’s prayers are always heard, they say!
No gambling this month so far. ODAAT!veraParticipantYou must be looking forward to the new arrival Looby! let us know when he/she gets here!– 08/05/2013 21:24:00: post edited by vera.
veraParticipantIn the past I always used the casino as an aid to switch from night to day work. The overlap is always difficult, so using gambling to manage the "Twilight Zone" seemed like an ideal solution.
Tonight I am just riding out the exhaustion. (Its a bit like jet lag for those who never experienced the transition). Hubby is cooking something. I don’t know what, so I’ll eat whatever is served up to me…(another layer for the ‘blubber’ suit RG!)
Happiness is……!??veraParticipantI know the feeling R2C! After a day out or a successful event I always feel there is something missing. It’s like we want to put the icing on the cake for extra enjoyment. The reality is that "icing" is POISON!
Gambling is DEADLY for a CG!
I’m still hanging in. Back on days tomorrow. Time clocks really screwd now but that my life!
You just reminded me my car is way over due for NTC. Had to get a new part for the steering today € 65 . Will pay hubby back tomorrow on payday…In the past I would have tried to "win" that 65 and of course it would have cost me € 650. I must be getting sense at last!
veraParticipant£ 9 for a pint of lager!
At that price every dry ********* must be laughing!
Just think, Bonkers,if you were still gambling you most likely would not have been at that show…your wife certainly would not have had lunch with your counsellor or have met your ex GM friends.
Good things happen to good people! odaat!
I find your posts very inspiring. Full of hope from all struggling CGs!
Thanks for showing us a true insight into Recovery Bonkers!
veraParticipantJust popping in to say Hi R2C!
On night duty tonight in you know where!
No counselling this week due to bank hiliday.
Keep up the good work!veraParticipantIt’s bad enough spitting in God’s Eye, Sherry but driving your mother to a casino 4 hours away for 50 lousy dollars is definitely a big no no! lol!
Well, Im off to work in half an hour. Night duty for one night then back on days on Thursday.
I’m getting too old for this Sherry. My time clocks are haywire!
Prayers needed please!veraParticipant‘Hope you won’t miss Carole too much Lizbeth! It is great to know you have such good friends and with your new car you can visit your mom and other family members more often. You are coping well.Thank God! Odaat!
veraParticipantB, I think you did great to stay away from gambling throughout your sickness and your recovery. It would have been so easy to go and chill out in the hope of winning enough to pay all your bills. Sickness and medical bills would scare me too, but as we all know gambling will not solve anything. I feel a great relief that I resisted the temptation to go today. Imagine coming back on my new thread and saying I gambled! Now that would be mockery of the worst description!
veraParticipantMaverick, thanks for posting to my new thread. Let’s hope this will be more succesful than previous attempts.
Never give up is my motto, for today!
Didn’t know you were in Ireland?!veraParticipantJust back from walking now Charles. Darkness fell after three miles so I dropped into a neighbour’s house for a chat then dodged the traffic and got home in one piece. Debating now whether I will go for an Indian meal now or just pop a frozen pizza in the oven. Probably the latter because hubby is exhausted. I’m only getting my "second wind"now after a day in bed. This time tomorrow night I will be up to my eyes on night duty!
Anything is better than gambling!veraParticipantB!
Your post on Juju’s thread prevented me from gambling today.
‘Just want you to know that posting helps more people than you realise!veraParticipantReds!
Glad I saw you before I signed off!
Early to bed and early to rise. I might go to the Group for 5 minutes.
We will miss you for the long summer. I hope it goes well for you. You ll be like a silent monk. Will you be able to continue walking there?
The baby must be getting chubby now! I love babies My niece has a brand new baby girl. I didnt get to see her yet.
Hope your dad remains stable and that your mom gets help. Its a hard road for her to travel. And she has no choice.
Shame on us for making so many selfish choices.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers Red. I think of you often.
veraParticipantWe begin to see the true value of money when we stop using it as gambling ammunition, Mythea!
Time and money are never ours when we gamble. Both vanish in the blink of an eye. It’s scary!
Here’s to a G free Day and a G free May!
odaat!veraParticipantWell done on 6 G free months Cat. I hate wishing my life away but time will go by no matter what we do so its better not to have to look back and say we wasted our time! Hope you enjoyed every G free day of those 6 months. Thats the main thing!
