Hi,
I’ve just admitted my problem to my family. I’ve been gambling for 2 ish years and have serious debts c.20k. Whilst ive stopped gambling and blocked myself from every online casino I can think of how do I go about regaining my wife’s trust?
Apparently the hardest part is admitting the problem but it feels like all I’ve done is hurt everyone I love and have no idea where to go next.
It takes time.
Don't gamble. Don't waste money. Understand that it's tough for them to get their heads around (it's tough enough for us gamblers to explain, so imagine how they feel!)
Have a read around the forum. Lots of answers and inspirational stories, but no quick fix. well done for taking the first step. in time you'll be proud that you did
Thanks... had an interesting day talking to various counselling organisations. Start of a long journey.
Affected by gambling?
