Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for the support-you really don’t know how much it means to me. I get so much from you all. Everyone should post when ever possible. You may think u have nothing to say but what you say may mean a lot to someone and help them through their day.
Had a good day all in all. Went to my GA meeting and we had a speaker. His name is Micheal J Burke. He is a cg who lost his law practice due to embezzling. He is a speaker now and has a book and web site. His site is http://www.neverenoughthebook.com
He made some very good points. People often talk about their monetary losses but the reality is broke is broke. I have seen so many people say "I would never do xxxxxx". Well never say never. He talks of cross addictions. We are addicts-period. We are vulnerable to addictive things, drugs, alcohol, sex, food, u name it. Awareness is so important. He is also an alcoholic, and was told never to gamble, advice he wished he had taken. A very good speaker indeed!
I talked to my ex gambling buddy tonight. I thanked her for still being my friend. She told me that worked both ways-as I added so much to her life and was always a good sounding board when she needed someone. That made me feel good.
I was told by a customer today I looked elegant~well thats a new one! I should wear slacks more often.
Had a quick chat with the sponsor. She said we need to get working or move on. She said the words I couldn’t say because I feel the same way. She insists I call her at least every other day. I took her schedule-as I don’t know what is a good time to call ( and she has brushed me off when she was busy-I told her that ) so we will see.
Need to hit the hay-I’m pooped!
peace
bettie
