Well thats 4 full weeks without gambling and feeling good no urges at all.The only problem i have is with family life everything ok with kids but my partner is taking it really badly and is adamant things between us are finished i am going to have to work hard to prove to her that i really have changed this time.I will keep focused and get on with ridding myself of this addiction for good.I dont get many replies on here but will keep writing as it helps with my recovery.
Hi ronrud
4 weeks is awesome , that is a huge achievement and you should be proud of your self.
Sorry to hear things are messy with your partner , same goes for me , I told my partner last night I have a gambling problem, went ok but she's frosty.
It will take time to get on track , keep proving that your attitude has changed towards gambling and I'm sure she will come round , also prove it to your self.
Keep avoiding temptation , find something positive to hold onto and keep your chin up.
Good luck pal, take care
Thanks escobar will keep going and prove to her i have changed and one day things will begin to improve between us.
