Hi Kathryn, I’m so glad your barriers worked. You got through the urges and came out without gambling…..well done. I know that us devious cg’s can find ways around the barriers but you DIDN’T. WELL DONE.
You are right to stand your ground about the dog. I love my old dog loads but i won’t have another one when she’s gone (she’s 18). They are hard work and tie you down. I am more of a cat person, although i love all animals. I want a kitten but hubby doesn’t. I may just ‘find’ a poor little lost kitten someday. Cats are a lot less work than dogs, far more independent.
Keep up the good work.

Ohh poor you Kathryn, bad backs are horrible. Hope you recover quickly. Keep gently mobile to stop it from siezing up altogether.
Paul, you reminded me of when i blamed the computer in work for shoulder pains and RSI (repetitive strain injury). I made a fuss about the position of the screen and the height of the table etc. It was only when i stopped playing the slots (I used to play for hours and hours on end) that the pain stopped………….derrr!!!!! Didn’t make the connection at all. Am I slow or what?!!!!
Hope you were able to get some rest on your day off, Kathryn.

Hi Kathryn, thanks for the post on my thread. I’m just catching up on people’s threads. I loved your skinny jeans story. You’re very brave; i wouldn’t let one of those young, skinny whipper-snapper sales assistants anywhere near me.
Keep up the good work.

Hi Kathryn, a BIG thank you for your wonderful support on my thread. I really appreciate it. I’m o k now, recovering from my slip, but feeling annoyed with myself for sleeping in too late today and not making the most of my day off. I think my brains way of dealing with stress is to sleep more!!!
I lol reading your post about your family outing to kmart. I can relate to your experience, my daughter was a nightmare to take anywhere when she was younger. She is now 16 and a pleasure to be with (most of the time!!!). and meglee , you are so right about those movies. There is no such thing as a perfect mum, you just need to be ‘good enough’.
Well done on your gamble free days, Kathryn, you are inspirational. I hope i can get to 60 days+, one day at a time.
(((((((hugs)))))))
