Get busy living... Or get busy dying..

Hiya Blondie...

Hopefully the weekend won't bring you any more tension ...Its a difficult one really,your circumstance .

I guess this could be a trial period for you and your Mum as if she is renting her own home out she could get it back again ?

Could you do it the other way around...i.e. you moving to your mums if her place is bigger and for you to rent yours out?

I guess you can only try Blondie? ..

Not sure if this is great thinking but when something drops into my lap easily I sometimes think maybe thats the way forward...and if your Mum has a renter already lined up perhaps do a 6 month over Xmas and winter?

Pretty miserable for your Rock on her own I should imagine in winter..dark nights ..cold etc

Sometimes things right themselves with no effort on our part...but frustrating waiting eh...

Sorry if thats no help hun

Keep chewing my friend....xx..and batton down the hatches..its blowing hoolie mgoolie out there xx.

Yo,

Hay Hun, just wanted you to know that I feel for you .

Know that if my dad needed to stay with us , we could not do it , the place is just far to small. He would be destined to sleeping on the couch .

Not sure what I would do , but know that I would move heaven and earth to sort it . I really could not entertain the thought of him going into a home .

I suppose as Dots says give it a try.

Stay strong Hun,

Hi Blondie,

I just wanted to thank you for your kind words and unconditional support. I completely understand and relate to your position/concerns regarding the ongoing care and support of an aging parent. I wish you all of the peace, patience, and clarity that you need as you sort all of this out. Just know that there are folks out there who understand and who are rooting for you. Carers sometimes have a hard time remembering this but, our recovery is first. Stay strong! BIG HUGS -joan

Hey Blondie,

Thanks as ever for your post.

Sorry to read you’re going through a bit of a testing time at the moment and that things seem to be a little up in the air. I guess these are the kinds of things that would have no doubt led us to the nearest bet in the past, but I know that with the strength and resolve that you show these days, you will find solutions to your problems without even giving gambling a thought.. I have complete faith in you!

You really have done an amazing job Blondie in not only kicking the gambling into touch, but also with the smoking! I can’t tell you how much admiration I have for you and all that you have achieved.

Your problems today are ones in which you are trying to help others have a better life and not ones that you have created for yourself through gambling. I know that you will find the answers you are looking for because without gambling your head is a lot clearer and your resolve is a lot stronger.. hang in there buddy.. things will get easier, you will come out the other side and once again you will feel enormous pride in yourself, just as we all do for you!

Take care mate,

Lmm xxxx

hi blondie .. thanks for your support.. hope u r feeling better today.. c u on thursday nights g.a. take care

Can't really offer to much in ways of advice im afraid but I do hope you reach a solution that can suit you all not easy I'm sure.

You've done fantastically well kicking in gambling and making a cracking effort with the smoking, your strength of mind is through the roof. Keep strong and whatever decisions are made I hope they work out for you all.

page 3 ...no way....

Hiya hun...just dancing over to your thread and saying a big hi 5...doo bee doo..pretty good mood tonight and totally sober as a judge..(think me pants on too tight)

Hope your weekend went OK Blondie...miss your posts and hope to hear from you soon..no pressure.

Day 149.

Wow what a past few days. My BF now knows about my gambling, It wasnt ideal how he found out I wish I had had the nerve to tell him but im so glad he now knows its been playing on my mind for a long time and It was only fear that stopped me from letting him in.

feel like a 10 ton weight has been lifted from my shoulders, we have had such an emotional weekend, I have opened up to him more than i have to any other person in the world ever, he now knows my inner most thoughts and secrets and I now have his 100% love and support to support me through this.

I dont have to do this on my own, I can start to break down that brick wall that I have built around myself so no one can get in and hurt me, I have trusted him with the most important thing i have my heart and my love and I give it with complete trust in the knowldege that as he said "Hes one of the good guys".

I suppose it comes down to the Im not quite worthy thing that I have going on with myself, Maybe I am worthy, Maybe I am worth it , Maybe I will make.

Had a chat with my mum re moving in and we dont have a solution yet but we are working on it and again im not worried about it anymore, in time we will get to where we need to be.

So right here right now.... Life is awesome... Just for today has got me thus far....... Just for today NO BET.

Really pleased for you Blondie, sounds like you've finally exorcised those demons. You're BF sounds like a goodun and you deserve love and luck because you're thoroughly decent too. Keep living, don't worry about the future everything will work out just fine.
