Hello all.
I haven't been on here for a while. But I am pleased to say that I still haven't gambled at all and currently 131 days gf. It feels great to be able to spend my hard earned wages on the things I want or on my kids.
Unfortunately my 5 year relationship has broken down through it all and going through the process of sorting things out with our home. We still live together and it is awkward but I can't control what's happening and it kills me but I guess it's my own fault. I do love her so much and would love to reconcile but she won't or can't change her mind and I can't do anything about it.
As long as I stay gf then life will continue to get better in time, and the scars will heal eventually. I wish I could go back 6 month but can't, but on the positive side I have learned so much about myself and thinking back just ask myself why? Why put myself and loved ones at risk, I've paid the price and lost everything I ever dreamed of, lovely girlfriend and a lovely home, I've lost one, about to lose the second. But.....life has to go on. Stay safe everyone and do everything you can to stay gf. It's worth it in the long run.

Hi Nev,
well done on 132 days gf.
Also, really sorry to hear about your break-up and impending move. It sounds like you were in a reflective mood when you posted, and are feeling the full force of the damage gambling can cause. However posting and talking is good, so please keep doing both.
If you are struggling you can also always call the Helpline or the Netline.
I wish you all the best and strength for your continued recovery.
