Hi all, 

Well I finally came clean to my husband and so glad I did. I was told on several occasions by a lot of you that it would be a huge relief, and it really was. 

Just want to say thanks to you all (the ones regularly on the group chat) for the help and support because I was really struggling with the possible consequences of having to tell him. 

Day 14 GF today ?

xx

Hi cpparch,

Thank you for updating us and we're so glad to hear that the conversation went well. Sounds like a real weight off your mind! Congratulations on day 14 gamble-free!

Now that you've made a few posts, how about starting a recovery diary for your ongoing updates? You can do that by going to Recovery Diaries and starting a new topic. Then other forum users will know where to check for the latest updates from you. And if you've any specific questions about recovery, you can post those in the Overcoming Problem Gambling section. 

We hope you enjoy exploring the GamCare forum. Do keep updating us and best wishes for your continued recovery!

Brilliant cpparch, I'm really glad you found the courage. It honestly does feel.like a huge weight has been lifted doesn't it.

Welldone on day 14, being someone who gambled on fb too, I know how hard it is to stop with there being no blocks. Why should some strangers on social media have our money hey!! 

Really hope now that your partner knows, it will be a turning point for you, I'm so happy you were able to open up. 

I'm on day 32 since my blip, we can do this ? 

Take care

Stace x

Hi cpp,

Truth is painful, rather ugly too like being stripped bare in front of the whole world. BUT, when you come clean addictions ugly fingers begin to loose their grip. It brings relief & liberation because the deception's over, there's nothing to hide, no dirty secrets and you no longer live in fear of exposure. You've done the ugly part now strength of character is needed, finding the courage to say never again will you control me. I think you can do it.

Sincere Best Wishes

Al
