Hi, my name is Phil. I’ve just disclosed my gambling to my Wife and Mum. Both are devastated understandably. I’ve particularly struggled with the guilt today and need my Wife more than ever but know how much of an ask that is of her.Â
Hi
That is a great progess to be that honest.
That is a very healthy powerful thing to do.
I like many people did not go to GA for my self from day one.
I use to think it was all about the money.
Then one day my wife told me it not was all about the money, but the betrayal of her trust.
It was painful for her to ask me to be honest about if I had gambled or not.
I could not admit to my self that I was a very emotionally vulnerable person.
Yet by me getting more and more honest would stop me living in my fears.
Please muster as much time and energy in to your recovery that you can.
It will speed up your healing.
It will speed up your exchanging unhealthy habits in to healthy habits.
No matter when your last bet was keep going to meetings.
