This will go down as one of the worst of my days ever. Have an alcohol and gambling problem and had left my phone on a gambling site and fell asleep. My husband found it and obviously had no idea. I've had to tell him everything and he's taken the measure of opening a new bank account that I have no access to. Think it's the only way til I get well. I love and thank him for his support. Good luck to everyone.
Hi Lesley welcome to the forum. What you think now has been the worst days it could be a blessing in disguise. Having your partners help and support throughout this can only help you further in trying to be rid of this horrible addiction. All the best in recovery x
Many thanks. I know it's going to take a long time, if ever to regain his trust. One day at time then. Need to sleep. Been so upset all through the night, have a terrible guilt and headache. Right now feels like I'll never be my bubbly self again.
I can empathise with you there. I became somebody I didn't recognise and felt all the emotions anger guilt sadness depressed. I cried for the girl I had lost to this addiction. But I can assure you, you will be that person again, if you give you're all to fighting this you will see yourself slowly getting back. I loathe the fact that I have this addiction but I've been to hell and back and come out a stronger better person because of it. It sounds like a cliche I know but I honestly am a better version of myself now than I ever have been. We're all here to help x
Hi, i'm not really sure where to start, talking to someone about my addiction or even admitting I have one has never been something ive warmed to. I guess I feel like I'm struggling more than ever lately. I'm feeling at such a loss at the minute, I've tried so many times to stop by myself but nothing works for me. For the first time ever I opened up and admitted all to my partner last week about my gambling and how it has a hold of me, she is trying to help but just doesn't seem to understand. I know I need help, I'm only 24 and want all these things (marraige/home) but everything I have goes on online gambling. I hate myself everytime I do it but I just cant seem to stop. I feel so low, I just dont know what to do 🙁
