    Hey Betty, Glad you are feeling better, and taking steps to help yourself.  I find that the best self care is to acknowledge your feelings, do something nice for yourself, Ask for help, and help will come.  I know it is not easy to ask for help.  I find it hard to do myself.  I am also on a journey of self discovery.  It has been tough, opening old wounds, however, I understand myself better.  One of the books that has helped me is called The Power is Within You, by Louise Hay, actually,  I think I will read it again.  I love Louise Hay, I’ve read all her books. some of them more than once.

    Betty,  You do have purpose.  You have helped me more than you know.  I wish there was something I could say to help cheer you up.  I know I have had days like that, and they do pass.  I do know that we have the answers with in us.  we just need help sorting it out.  Take care

    Hi Bettie, I am experiencing the same thing.  My higher power has been guiding me and leading me in a direction I never dreamed.  It is true I have had to do the work.  But when I was unsure, stressed, I let go and let God.  What a wonderful feeling, Recovery has been a blessing.  We just have to have faith, tust, and  do our part.  Have a wonderful day !!!

    Bettie,  Congratulations on your accomplishment.  I like your post about the coach purse.  I love purses too! and shoes!
    lol.  I reward myself every pay day, a book, shoes, bag, silver jewelry, something special for me.  sometimes I hesitate, I think its too much, but then I tell myself.  I would have put that much and more in the machine.

    Hi Bettie, That story was profound.  Thanks for posting it.  My daughter is 34.  we used to go to the casino together.  she could take it or leave it.  She asked me the other day if I went to Vegas would I gamble.  That’s insaine.  of course I would.  What would be the point of going there lol.  anyway, I know how you feel.
