[desdemona]

Hi Bettie, I just wanted to thank you for your time you spent talking with me and your encouragement tonight. It meant a lot to me. Today was the most desperate day I have had since I quit gambling. Even when I was gambling the 7 or 8 years I did, I have never had that sort of desperation to gamble. It was a scary place to be. Totally out of control emotionally!! Thank you again Bettie! You are so sweet!
