I too am not too keen on informing anyone of my problem. I have worked very hard all of my life and don’ t want to lose the respect that I have garnered over it. Gambling has taken enough from me and I wont let it take that too. We had a guy at work who had lost everything was sleeping in his car and the talk about him!!!! I know what people are like and they tend to judge and criticize without thinking about the consequences. I will keep it to myself when it comes to people outside my immediate family. Even still, telling family can be a source of great strength and help for some and negativity and judgement. If it’s not going to be the former then avoid it if at all possible. No need for more shadows cast upon you while you fight your way through it. Just do what feels right for you.
I’m not telling anyone myself and I feel ok about it.
