Hiya Loxxie, so glad to hear from you....you had us worried for a while! Im glad you feel better for husband now knowing, now that's one less thing to worry about. Take care my love xx
Hi Loxxie, up late ruminating over a slip up yesterday but progress on recovery has been made. I'm wanting to thank you for your kind words and encouragement last week, it meant an awful lot. Gambling aside what comes across in your posts is what an amazing, kind, caring, intelligent and witty person you are. All of the support and empathy you have freely given out to others as you have reached out to them speaks volumes about what a lovely person you are. Gambling is just one fault which likely goes against a multitude of positive attributes every one of us on this forum has. To others we must apologise for our gambling behaviours but never for being who we are. Best wishes and keep in touch. Steffi xx
Hey guys ....thanks for all your lovely messages....sorry I havnt posted for a week...it's been a emotional few days since hubby was told...anyway...obvoisly been very difficult for all concerned. ...hubby and daughter have been amazing....and we've all talked more than we ever have....priority debts sorted and agreed with companies...old debts and non priority ones will go to stepchange in a while...when all information gathered.....so that's a wonderfull release....and I'm not doing it alone...I feel quite chilled really which seems weird....hubby has been amazing trying to understand the addiction....I'm wondering how I will learn to live with all the hurt and distruction I have caused...but I suppose the counselling will help me make sense with that...got an interview next week for job to get extra income as the pub is so quiet...that will be good if I get it as it will keep me busy....and help with debts.....I know with my families support I can get through this...and may sound selfish but I'm looking forward to future with no lies or secrecy.....never had that even before gambling I always lied to cover debts..but if we work together that wont happen....oh...and just to say I've not even thought about those bloody slots....it's so sad to come back here and read new stories .....if you are new here...please read my diary....it may help....it may not.....but beleive me if you can stop.....it will get better....beleive me I know.. xx
Thanks dean....I will get through this....and I will be a better person for it....the past is gone now...the money has gone....but the futures mine....one day at at time x
Hello, Loxie,
I'm pleased to see that your husband surpassed your expectations of him and I wish you well in your recovery.

Thanks cw...he has been amazing....and you helped me understand things from his side....I'm sure we will have many ups and downs....but to have it out in the open is good...and as this place is my sanctury now....I will draw strength from you all to begin rebuilding my family life....but I will remember it's one day at a time ....hope all's good with you and your hubby x
