I’m sorry to hear about your setback. You’re right. You can’t ever go back. Just like a recovering alcoholic can’t have “just one” drink. My husband asked me if he could do some squares at work for basketball this year like he did last year and won a lot of money. I told him absolutely not. It could end up triggering a full on relapse. You should check into finding an addiction counselor. My husband has a wonderful one that he talks to every Thursday. I have talked to her, too. It has been very helpful for us both. You don’t have to go this alone. Accountability is very important and I hope you have made your partner part of your recovery.
