For those of my “Literary Side” of things …You may or may not know I am celebrating today my 13th year maintaining recovery from a cunning and silent addiction that requires no substances. It is called “Compulsive Gambling Addiction.” I am sharing my new recovery post here as I am a proud Recovery Advocate and shared all the good, the bad, and the hopelessness I once lived within. I wrote all about it in my published book/memoir titled; “Addicted to Dimes: Confessions of a Liar and a Cheat.” I was one to never be Annonymous . . . Catherine

GOD Whispered In My EAR … I Bless You With HOPE…

HOPE – Verb: want something to happen…
