What a sweet post regarding your brother who passed and good to know you are doing great! I’m up way past my supposed bed time. Got bored on Facebook and tired of looking at surgery sites. So, popped in here to find you up so late! I can relate to you about the bank statement. I used to look at my bank statements and scold myself and say, ok startng next month I won’t have any withdrawls from the casino. Well, that was not true as I always kept doing it. When I stopped gambling 11 days ago, it was not the beginning of a new month- but I was happy about stopping because I new this March statement will be the last time I have a casino registered at my bank. I can only hope I can live seven years out so I can destroy this March 2011 statement. It is embarrassing and shameful. Someone said that being concerned with what others think of us, showed that we were probably serious about our recovery. That was nice to hear because I do not want to let down my family. I have not told everyone all the gory little details such as the amounts but I have told most everyone close to me that I have decided not to gamble. I have been questioned and teased some, but am dealing with it. I am really glad you had time with your brother and don’t feel like you even have to discuss "it" because it is up to you! You have GA and it sounds like a pretty good group too. Well sweets, I should get off here. Have a super fantastic Saturday! Treat yourself well because you totally deserve it. Hugs.Liz50
