Kathryn! I’ve been too busy to read up on everyone. I’m only scanning threads, so from what I read on yours, it seems that you could do with a cyber “gee-up”! Talk soon! 7 and a half months is something to really proud of!…….all the sevens
JUST WONDERING,AS I READ YOUR ACCOUNT OF RETURN TO SCHOOL SHOPPING, KATHRYN, WHO DID THESE THINGS WHEN YOU WERE”UNAVAILABLE”?……
Happy New Year Kathryn. Continued success in recovery. I am envious of you! I made a fool of myself AGAIN!!!!
Hi Larry! Calenders aside, I want to wish you all the g-free best for 2010! I hope and pray the turn of the year and the new decade will bring new life, new hope, new love to all our lives. We have invested too much time in “false God’s” so when we face that truth we will be free!……You have been a wonderful support to me Larry. You are always tuned in and ready to give your time and thoughts. For that, I want to say a big THANK YOU. Your generosity has not gone unnoticed! I don’t get enough time to read and post to others’ threads. My laptop never connected to the internet since I had it repaired and I keep saying I ll go back to the shop but never have time! I borrow my son’s Mac, I cant even make paragraphs on it but at least he is not saying “hurry up” now as he needs it less when he is on holiday from college…I’m looking back and thinking of all the things gambling has taken away from me, but it’s better not to dwell on it too much, so here’s to a gamble free future for all of us!…….God bless!……
Larry, I was checking in to say Happy Christmas and just discovered that your beloved brother has died . MAY HIS ETERNAL SOUL REST IN PEACE. Hope you get through Christmas and cope with your loss in a gamble-free way. My sister died in June RIP. The first Christmas without her presents under the tree. She lived in the UK and took great joy in selecting appropriate gifts for everyone and wrapping them in a beautiful way. She was an artist… Life goes on!
HAPPY “SPECIAL” CHRISTMAS KATHRYN! YOU SURVIVED WITHOUT YOUR “LOVER”! REALITY BEATS ESCAPE! VERY WELL DONE ON YOUR AMAZING SUCCESS SINCE WE FIRST MET IN JUNE 2009!all the sevens
Hi Kathryn! You certainly are making up for lost time with Brea! I was glad to read a few pages back that she did you(and herself) proud in her final exams. Great to see such achievements! I can imagine the boys’ faces on Christmas morning when they see their Santa surprises. You have done SO well to stay away from gambling for over 6 months Kathryn. You deserve to have a great Christmas! You and I will have our feet up. I’m dashing out to do some shopping now. The car and roads are frozen over.I dread moving along on uncertain ground, but I suppose that’s life real life! As soon as I go to work tomorrow, I will have to switch off. Twelve hour shifts are too long! I never minded doing them in the “dungeon” though! Talk soon!
The 21st went well Kathryn! Birthday boy didn’t make much effort ( read all about it on Cully’s thread), but everyone enjoyed themselves and it was worth all the effort! Where did those 21 years go! I dressed up in my mini and new boots (talk about mutton dressed as lamb!) A lot of cleaning up to be done tomorrow and I am starting nights for a week then. I dread the thoughts of it but like recovery, I will take it one day (night) at a time. This time last year I wouldn’t have been able to even dream of having a party. No time,no money , no interest in anything except the slots, so I see this as a sign of recovery. I got talking to my sister-in-law and told her my “dirty” secret. She was looking at me in disbelief, I think she thought I was imagining things! I wish! ……….By the way, what are boogie boards?
Welcome back from Sydney Kathryn! So glad you fulfilled your promise and Brea’s dream. Just throw your mind back six months and remember how impossible this weekend would have been if you were still gambling…….. You’ll soon be hitting the six month mark! Any plans for a celebration?……….Sometimes I feel there is nothing I would like better than ” a day in the slots”. I imagine myself walking in ( well, being ‘spirited in”, feet not touching the floor) plonking my fat A** on the stool, frantically sliding 50 into 2 machines ( 8 if I were an octpus), breathing a CG sigh of CG relief…. and, and, AND A N D………walking out the door, sick, dizzy, broke, guilt-ridden and in bits after 12 hours sordid pleasure…………NO THANKS! I changed my mind! Even you wouldn’t be that mad, Kathryn! I often wonder what you would have been like to sit next to in the casino, Kathryn! Silent? chatty? Happy? Moany? Silent, I’d say!
Larry, I dropped by to catch up on your thread, but my son is calling for his laptop to do some college work, so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow! I’ll look forward to that! ‘Bye for now!
Hi Kathryn ! My thoughts on Brea and the dog; could it be that she is doing the “testing 1,2, 3” that she didn’t get the chance to do when you were absent from her earlier life? As for the bridesmaid dresses,there’s nothing worse than wearing something you feel uncomfortable in, no matter WHAT the occasion…..It always shows!all the sevens
You really have done great Paul. It’s not easy but it’s worth all the effort. Any plans for Christmas or is it too far away?all the sevens

Got over a grand sitting there now. I’ll be too mean to put petrol in the car soon…………. my son’s 21 is coming up. Planning but with a heavy heart in case he doesn’t bother turning up, in case NOBODY turns up….EEEEKK !!! I ll be cleaning the house like a fanatic over the next few weeks on my days off…Got to go Hearing HURRY UP WILL YOU BE LONG HURRY UP…..Sort of a MANTRA !all the sevens
