Hi all,
Been a gambler since I can remember with family members well into gambling. Hit rock bottom the other day and risked my house by betting online on the casino. Not where I want to be with a family.
Wife found out and instead off lying I for the first time opened up and told her the truth.
She is still with me just!!! Conditions are ga meetings and never to do it again. Got my first meeting tonight and am a bit nervous. I have got something to fight for though and I need to sort myself out.
Anyway just thought I would say hi.
Thanks

Yes well done mate, I did similar to you and things didn't end well. I really hope they do for you
Well I went to a ga meeting today and really feel like it was a step in the right direction. Thank you both for your comments.
I did similar lost my 2 kids and everything started again lost it all again and now nearly lost it all for a third time..think of life without your loved ones it's really hard every day....but not as hard as continuing gambling..

Keep going mate - how was going to the GA ? I sometimes found that depressing and not too helpful - I found Gamcare better to talk to..
It was ok, everyone understood me and it was good to talk. Been talking on gam care as well as I am in last chance salon with my wife and kids. How Are you getting On?
