Gambling husband

Hi @Lisa,

Thanks for joining the forum, I'm sure you will receive lots of insight from other forum members, but first of all I just want to make sure you know you can speak to an adviser on the helpline anytime, we're here 24/7 and can be contacted on 0808 8020 133.

We can also be contacted via live chat or Whatsapp on our website here.

It sounds like it's been a very difficult time for you, and I can hear the impact your husbands gambling has had on you.

We are here for you, and can offer you a 1 to 1 support referral for you to receive your own support in this, so please do get in touch with the helpline if you like.

Alongside the forum and daily chatrooms we have, GamAnon do provide meetings for those affected by someone's gambling, so do have a look into these if you'd like to.

Best wishes,

Phoebe

Hi Lisa

Whatever the future might hold there is a lot of support out there for yourself and him. Is he still gambling ?

Sounds similar to me. I have been gambling for over ten years and recently told my wife. She said we will get through it together but I've been totally open with her. Hope everything works out for you 🤞🏻 🤞🏻

Hi Lisa,

I am so sorry you are having to go though this, I can imagine how overwhelming and scary it is for you, especially having children.  It must be extremely difficult.

The chat rooms are so good on Gamcare, they are text only so no cameras and everybody's so friendly and kind.  There is a chat moderator  online, which gives us all a safe spot top chat openly, in a proper manner.  Whilst I have been the over side of the fence, I have seen and recognise now first-hand the devastation gambling can cause.  So no matter where we are at all with regards to this, we would love to make you feel very welcome, and we would hopefully be able to give you some insight also.

With warm regards,

Kylie.
