Hi Velvet, thanks for the support. My counsellor was the one to recommend co-dependents anonymous as I have behaviours I have developed with dealing with my sister and parents over the years. I have taken these behaviours into all my adult relationships and really need to look at how much I am willing to give up to be with a partner. The gambling did consume me and I did loose myself in the addiction. Putting myself first and learning to care and love me is my priority. I do really need to figure out a lot of stuff to have a more balanced life.

Thanks
CB
