Well i did it.
Yesterday i broke my gambling news to my wife and we spoke about it when she got home that evening from work.
Understandably she is very upset and blames herself for my actions.
I can only reassure her that this is not the case, granted things haven't been great between us but it goes deeper phsychologically within me than that.
As i said in previous posts we are expecting our 1st child in April and my biggest fear was her leaving me and not giving me the chance to be a father again.
Last night she said she didn't want us to split up over this but she is scared about it all happening again and if it were to next time there will be a child involved.
All i can do is re-assure her that this time is the time and i do not want my burden ever affecting my child or our family ever.
I feel even more positive about getting through all of this now that i have laid my cards on the table.
I do not want all of this heartache to be for nothing.
So here is to the 11th day that i am a winner and the bookies are the loosers!
Roll on #12.
Hi pop
Firstly a great big well done to you for coming clean, this is such a positive step forwards for you.
Honesty with our partners takes away that horrible secret that can eat us up,if we let it.
Might sound silly, but my OH calls this forum my bible.
He read a lot of the diaries on here when I first joined and I know it helped him understand this addiction more.
I wish you all the best on this journey of recovery
and very well done on 12 days of winning.
Best wishes
Suzanne xx
