I have now been gamble free for about 9 months. Here's what's happened:
- saved my marriage, the lies were killing us even though he knew nothing. Coming totally clean gave us a chance and we've worked HARD.
- my partner trusts me again. I don't lie, he doesn't need to check up on me.
- without anyone checking up on me and with disposable income, I have not went near gambling again (even with opportunity to do so undiscovered). I needed the check ups at the beginning but can honestly say I haven't felt the urge at all for 4/5 months.
- I've lost weight and got healthier
- I've paid back lots of debt and got my finances back on the straight and narrow. Will be debt free in a year and a half.
- my mental health has improved. I'm managing depression better and tackling problems head on!
- I've had a boost at work, far more productive now I'm now gambling every second
- blood pressure returned to normal
you can do this if I can, it was bad and now it is not. This doesn't have to hang over you your whole life.
Amazing! Keep it going...
i’m flag to hear your life is getting better.
