Hi this is my day one again and although I’m feeling slightly brave I know there is a storm to come. Signed up to gamstop this time and it worked within 2 hours. The next few days will be hard when I disappoint my family yet again. Can’t face that today...babysteps.
Hi ih.
well done for signing up to gamstop. Shows a determination and stay strong. It will be tough but all good things are. Can you do any damage limitation before you have to confess? Signing up to gamstop will show you are sorry and you want to change.
good luck when you have to have that conversation.
its tough

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I think coming here will be my new interest and busy those idle hands of mine.
Thanks Sarah
unfortunately there is no further damage limitation to be done. I’ve just got to face up to people and I already know how bad it was last time. I’m hoping that by telling my parents first they will help me confront my husband.
ill keep you posted if you don’t mind - this site has a lot of support and some really great people on it
thanks again
Good luck JH, remember you've taken the right steps and you have the power to change the course of your life once again. You are SO much more than this gambling addiction, even you don't feel like that right now. This is something you need support and stops in place for. Good luck and try to keep focussed forward.
Thank you for your kind words.
good luck with your journey too
