Hi libu welcome to this forum. This is a good start in the right direction. I can’t tell you it’s going to be easy because it not. I’ve gone through and still am going through the mess of my mistakes,however,I’ve started to feel better about myself. It takes alot of work, alot of tears, alot of pain but it really does get better the longer your away from the addiction. Unfortunately we can’t predict or control how others will react to knowing our problem and what fincial devastation we cause. We might not be bad people and the majority of us have been through alot of painful stuff to get to this point in our lives but unfortunately any addiction hurts others close to us so there will be consequences. And that’s just something we have to face head on and learn to heal from. The most important thing is getting the help you need. I highly recommend professional help I no I couldn’t be getting through this without my counselor and people I have connections with through 12 step programs. The best thing I can say right now is to realize we’re only human and we have all made mistakes. The important thing in healing addiction is that your actually trying and willing to change that counts for something. We all have the ability to be the best version of ourselves.
