I told my husband about my gambling back in February 2021 this was the best thing i ever did . He has been very supportive and even though i have gambled after that I haven’t gambled for so many months now I can’t remember. He has control of the main bank account and i have a Monzo account with a limit on my bank card which i am happy with. He checks the bank statement. Now my secret is out the desire to gamble has gone now.Â
Hi I'm starting quitting my addiction how did you tell him because I am very secretive about mine no one knows and I'm scared to say something.Â
I'm in extreme debt now, have no motivation not looking after myself.Â
How did you stop
Â
Thank you I'm glad yourve stopedÂ
Well i just broke down one day crying i just couldn’t cope anymore. I was so ashamed. I’ve lost a lot of money and was stealing from him as well. It has been very very hard but he has been so supportive and even after 2 years he still has responsibility for the main account as I cannot trust myself. This is my life now and i never ever want to go back. I was very secretive. We hardly slept together so i was gambling at night when he was asleep and i was up until 3 in the morning until i fel asleep. I was always tired and grumpy. Something major had to happen. I got counselling through gamcare which helped me enormously. You have to want to stop . Do it now don’t waste any more money on these companies. Â
