Hi Lili, just wanted to wish you well before I go to bed! Spoken to you a few times in chat, don't know too much about you but will read up on your diary in full soon. Must be very difficult (if not impossible) to try to stop gambling if a partner is gambling too. Hope the chat with your husband goes well, you need to make it go well for your own sanity and wellbeing! Take care...
Never seem to have much time to post on here, or anything gambling related to write about.
Have been just living life, working, having wee trips here and there. Seeing my Mum a lot more now. Was down in the home county last weekend, beautiful it was. Funny how you don't see the beauty of an area when you grow up in it. Have to move away and go back to appreciate it - so peaceful and kinda untouched and unspoiled.. the countryside where I was born. Will be going down there as often as I can now.
Have had a few talks with my husband..think he just says what he thinks I want to hear though. Will be having a talk or more likely a huge row with him when I next see him though. I have just discovered he stole money from my account using my bank card, on 7th June. He didnt say anything about it. Did he think I wouldn't notice?? Only one time he had my card briefly to pay at petrol station..but he must have kept it all that night and the cashline he used which I read on my statement is where the casino is - surprise surprise!
I'm very disappointed and angry. I feel like kicking him out. Why should I be working hard to keep him? He wants to go to Italy in August and I'm trying to keep money so we can go and he steals it!!
He can walk to Italy.. and not come back!
Ahh. Found my old diary!!
No sure if that's a good or bad thing!!!

Been reading some of this old diary of mine and have decided to post on this. It will be "Elizabeth" that's posting who is also Lili.
Had to set up new account as had no idea of password and use different email.
It's amazing to see how things have changed in my marriage but the problems are still caused by gambling.
My man always has gambled and never seriously tried to stop. I've stopped and got caught up again and am no longer gambling.
I am going to use this diary to help me make sense of life and help me make the right choices moving forward.
If I can help others on here, that's great.
When you begin to worry, go find something to do. Get busy being a blessing to someone; do something fruitful. Talking about your problem or sitting alone, thinking about it, does no good; it serves only to make you miserable. Above all else, remember that worrying is totally useless. Worrying will not solve your problem.:)
