Thank you for the advice Adam 🙂 well I've come clean and told my people so one is willing to support me and help me out for the holiday luckily! Onward and upwards is the only way,I'll go onto the chat room tonight 🙂

Come clean and stay clean mate!! I've just done the same thing with my wife, I'm in £24,000.00 debt because of my old gambling habit. Block all sites and deactivate accounts, I know it's easily said but don't go back, your young and it will ruin your life believe me!!!

Thank you for your reply 🙂

I've come clean,he walked out to start with,wouldn't speak to me but now is coming round slowly,I don't think he understands the addiction part basically said I'm a idiot and all that stuff but said it will take a lot to get us back on track but he's willing to try.Wanted to see my bank statements to see what I've lost (which was horrible to show) but then said write down all the debt your in and let's get it sorted.All sites are blocked,got a parental block on my phone so no over 18 sites can be accessed so now it's just a case of stay strong and stay away!

I hope you and your wife are good! It's a hard thing to do but I'm sure we can all conquer the evil money taking habit!!

Recovery is possible but we must commit to it, never surrendering to our evil addiction again, ever!

Your partner sounds fab but I am surprised that you seem shocked he doesn't understand the addiction...Do you? Please let him know that there is support for him here too, both on the site & through Gamcare.

Bailing out isn't a recommended course of action for us CG's as when the addiction strikes, it tries to convince us that this option will always be available. Is there anyway that he will take control of your finances & you can figure out a way of paying back any financial assistance that you are given so your addiction knows you mean business?

Great start but this is just that...You need to keep your Time-Money-Location triangle broken, remove one & you cannot gamble & you need to stay on your guard! There is a 2015 challenge running @ the moment & the last few weeks of a 90 day one if you are planning on sticking around this site, you may also find it helpful to start a Recovery Diary. Most people who gamble gamble for a reason & GA or counselling through Gamcare may prove useful tools as you move forwards in regaining your life back!

Work hard & you can do this - ODAAT

If your really serious about quitting, then do what I've done, get rid of your ''smart phone'' or at least install K9 and let your partner set up the password so you don't know it, plus, open a new bank account and give your partner your log in details so they can check every now and again what your spending money on. It's a moment of clarity at the end of the day and it is an addiction which cannot be cured but it can be controlled. It's the same as smoking, once a smoker always a smoker, but people who give up still crave it, love the smell etc, but choose not to do it. Take a step back, in one hand you have your partner and in the other you have the life destroyer. Strip everything else in life back.......... What do you choose.
