Hi Eileen,
I giggled to myself when you talked about boring anyone here…..I have been using this site for over 5 years and the first 4 saw me post every thought that came into my head (seriously!)
I am happy to read that you and your husband are doing this together….United we stand! It will get harder, like giving birth we are programmed to forget the pain! You need to keep reminding yourself why you are here…keep,remembering! This addiction will take any small thought and turn it into 1 massive urge. Perhaps you and your husband can have a back up plan for when one or both of you gets the urge to gamble…….planning helps, keeping busy helps, set yourselves small goals, a date night, the movies, a tub of delicious ice cream to share….small steps, one day at a time.
Take care, love K xx
