I’m only just starting this recovery and I’ve been so stressed and anxious about telling my partner about the debts and gambling. I had resolved to tell him in around a week, but today he’s found out his job might be at risk and will find out May 20th, he’s already stressed about this job, what on earth do I do now? Feel scared and alone

Hi Pugs
That's tough and I wouldn't suggest what to do. Someone said to me in a GA share something from his own life and said the truth will set you free. If you can put yourself in their shoes how would they feel if you couldn't trust them with what you are going through ? Also, if they are the person you think they are, surely they would be there for you.
Sounds like this is about facing life on life's terms. I hope it all works out for both of you. This is going to be a tricky time to get through gamble free but I'm sure you canÂ
