Hello,Â
Â
I am currently 9 days gamble free. It feels great, a huge weight has been lifted. Coming clean was the hardest thing I've ever had to doÂ
Â
I came clean to my partner who has been very supportive and is helping me with my finances, I feel very ashamed and embarrassed after lying about this, it has a out a huge strain on our relationship but I am very thankful she has stuck by me to help me work on my illness and get my life back on track. We have done a financial plan and it amazes me that I will actually have money and savings to live my life with. My debt should be cleared fairly quickly.
Â
I really hope I can rebuild her trust and repay her in the way she has supported me.Â
Very well done!Â
Â
To have a supportive partner during your addiction is huge. But please don't discount how proud you are making them by beating this abhorrent addiction. So happy the debt will be clearedÂ
Â
When times get tough, stick to the plan! 🙂Â
Good morning to you all.
I am blown away, by your determination and commitment to change, which all starts with a 'Vow', then bringing it into each day. The support you provide for one another, is such a pleasure to read. Celebrating Recovery, is such a joyful experience. Â
Warmest regards,
Lily

Thank you all, I appreciate the support
Congratulations on reaching 9 days gamble-free! That’s an incredible achievement, and you should be proud of yourself for taking those steps to come clean and face this head-on. It’s not easy to open up about something so difficult, but your courage in doing so shows real strength.
It's great to hear that your partner is supportive and helping you with your finances. Having someone by your side who understands and is willing to work through this with you can make a huge difference. Remember, rebuilding trust takes time, but being honest, transparent, and committed to your recovery is the best way to show her how much her support means to you.
You’re already on the right path with a financial plan and a clear goal to clear your debt. Stay strong and keep moving forward, one day at a time. You've got this, and we're all here to cheer you on!
