Hi betie,
Let me introduce myself, ive been here for a couple of years but lately havent been posting cause I wasnt feeling well, just getting back into the swing of things and catching up on threads. Want to say congratulations for your determination to stay in recovery and well done for the wonderful support you have been providing by posting to others. Regarding urges, People are often bewildered that they dont go away and that is a source of distress in many. just accepting that they will always come(granted, fewer and farther between with abstience) prepares us to deal with them, the best way is just to acknowledge the thought then move on to something else. There is no reason to wait for the slip, first comes the urge, just wait for that, its much easier to deal with…waiting for the slip also brings with it waiting for the guilt, remorse and tiresome "starting over".
You can do it. You have the power to control your own life, something that actively gambling takes away from us. You are doing great, hang in there and best wishes to you!
Hugs *life is goodLOL, you sure lead a full life! I’m excited you were able to talk to your co-worker about your addiction. Being able to causally mention your addiction to someone else is a very, very good sign you are living your recovery. Tooooo cool!
I read you are on a diet now, good for you…im trying to get more exercise myself…I don’t eat a lot so it comes down to movement. (or lack of lol) I wish you well on your new project! Such a worthy one though!
How are you sleeping? Any better? I have been sleeping better since you brought up your issue, I had forgotten about deep breathing and relaxing myself ..so nice to get a full 8 – 6 hours!
Hang in there busy lady!
Hugs *life is goodMerry Christmas! *life is good
Just wanted to let you know ive been reading your thread all along and am so proud of your transformation. You go girl!
Hugs *life is good100 days woooo whoo! Losing track of your days is a very, very good sign. I enjoy reading your posts and you have helped so many here. Proud of you!
Hugs! (lol, vodka and jello shots? A true girls night out…memories….) *life is goodconratulations Paul, or Larry. I love the reason why you chose Paul though, the transformation from Saul to Paul was a consciencious decision on his part to live a new life dedicated to our lord with a new name. But I also understand the desire to make it real…and be called by your real name. So Larry, here’s to you, keep it real, one day at a time! We are rooting for you! *life is good
