After hiding my gambling addiction for too long and losing a lot of money trying to win back my losses, I finally accepted they were gone and told my partner 3 days ago. All the conversations I had had in my head were unnecessary. He was amazing. He said OK and didn't judge me, shout or get angry. I wish I had told him months ago. To anyone stressing about telling someone, please don't assume worse case scenario, it stopped me asking for help and delayed the start of my recovery for no reason. I'm lucky, I feel like i've been given a second chance at life. I am only 2 day gf but I have support and self excluded through gam stop. I am optimistic and looking forward to the future
Hi there @Notme

All the best,
