Hi Bettie,
thanks for your post. You bring up a very good point, I just have to change myself and life will be better. I love my job, I just need to learn to be more lenient with others and not judgmental.

Hi Bettie,
I see what you mean bout posting when there’s not too much going on. It’s good to know you are feeling a little better. I found that ginger and honey mix with green tea is very soothing for cough.

Hi Kathryn,
thanks for posting on my thread. I think it’s the first time I post on yours. Do you have a headphone? you can just start listen to music and tune him out. How do you type quietly? It’s your keyboard that make noise anyway. If it annoys him, ask him to buy you a new laptop or a quiet keyboard to connect to it. I connected to chat too, no one was there. I guess everyone logs in at different time, being the only one, and eventually log off.

sorry Bettie,
sometimes I read a little too fast 🙂

Hi Bettie, sorry to hear about your sister. It hurts to see your loved ones struggle. How is your daughter coping being out of work? I was laid off once about 2 years ago. It wasn’t fun, but it’s also a chance to do things you couldn’t before. Like going back to school, get some time off etc. Don’t get off your diet now 🙂 you just brought 6 new dresses remember?

Hi Kathryn,
2 year GF is quite an accomplishment, and you are still working at it. You should be really proud! The dishwasher, it’s funny because we don’t have one at our current house, and I swear that if we get another place, it has to have a dishwasher. I am glad you are getting one at your new place. When we spend all day at work and have kids to worry about, the less house work, the better. It’s not like house work ever runs out anyway.

Hi Georgie,
Thanks for posting on my thread. I haven’t really posted anything new lately so it’s rather boring there :). I am glad you are connecting well with your family again. I just recently connected with my family again after months hiding in my shell of shame. They are very happy that I am somewhat my normal self and I am sure your parents are very happy with you.

Hi Scott,
since you are already posted here, you’ve taken a step toward your recovery. I’d recommend attending GA meetings next, after talking it out with people with similar problems, you’d have a better view of yourself and hopefully find the next step to tackle this addiction.

Yahoo, this would be the 100th post! I don’t have much going on lately, things are looking better. I am ******** my days hoping that I can make it pass 90 days this time. When my mind diverts away from gambling, I see so many other things worth living for. children, movies, cooking, workouts…at some point I used to like doing these and forgot about them when I was occupied with only gambling. Now I am slowly getting back to them. One day at a time, I will not let my guard down with this inner demon.

Hi Lizbeth,
Enjoy your time being away! I thought I should pop in to say hi and catch up with your posts.

Hi Lynnie,
it sure takes a strong person to overcome the urges the way you did. Sorry to hear about your house. But hey the weekend is coming up, you will get some rest, I hope 🙂
Have you ever been to a GA meeting? Nobody really judging anyone over there. everyone has similar experiences so they are pretty supportive and understanding.

I went buy back my last check from the casino today. They actually kept it there for months until I have enough to buy it back. It feels good to put it all behind me now. No more reminder of the shady business that was part of a gambling life. I felt uneasy when i was waiting for the cashier to get things ready and had to keep my eyes glued to the TV so I don’t see the actions around me. I’ve learned the hard way that I should never let my guard down with this demon, not even for a second because that’s all it takes.

Hi Pumkin,
sorry to hear your recent trouble with the landlord. Its frustrating when you and your spouse can’t communicate or agree on something as important as where to live. It took my husband and I a long time to learn to somewhat be on the same level. Though personally I think that if you are the only one working and able to hold down a job, you should live closer to where you work. Commuting is a waste of time and money, especially when the gas price is as hard as it is now. Keep up your gf day pumkin! I have a lot of respect for your courage to press on regardless of the hardship you are facing.

Happy birthday Bettie

Hi Bettie,
I am glad the eyeglasses worked out for you. Congrats on 6 months, you are doing great
