Hello icandothis and charles. Yes, I was away for a while. I foolishly thought I had things under control and I didn’t need you guys nor this site. I didn’t exactly think I was better than you guys, but it was close to that. I will never make that mistake again.
I’m back now and am here to stay. I have a friend who hasn’t drunk in 10 years and yet visits the AA meeting 2-3 times a week. Now I know why.
I probably won’t have to tell my wife about the money I lost for another 6 months, possibly longer and if I manage not to gamble I think I can save it up and I should be ok.
Should I not be honest with my wife about it? I can’t bear to disappoint her again. And again, if I don’t gamble from now on I should probably be ok. And if I do gamble then the hell will break loose anyway and I will end in it.
