I have been really good recently. No gambling for 7 weeks now. Bills getting paid on time. Husband keeps my bank card now. Feel a lot better in myself.
Well done, i am 7 months clean ive managed not to relapse knowing that my family know about my problem. Still have my down moments and I am prone to depression but i just take it 1 day at a time.
Hi emb30,
Welcome to the forum, and well done for posting here. I’m glad to learn you’re feeling much better in yourself due to the progress you are making on overcoming your problem gambling.
It is also good that you’ve got a husband who’s supporting you, keeping your bank cards for you, and making sure the bills are paid. Thus you are experiencing a sound mind; your anxieties and stress level are obviously dropping, and it makes sense why you’re feeling better in yourself. That’s a plus for you!
I’m encouraging you to keep to what you’re doing as it seems to be yielding good result.
If I had known the type of gambling that you use to do, maybe I would have been able to offer you more advice on strategies and boundaries.
However, I’m advising you to go to our website, and read the postings from our chatroom/forum for more ideas, support and strength.
