Hi Laura, Welcom to GT. I am glad that you are here posting and responding to posts on your thread. That can be very helpful. Sorry that you have to deal with your Mother being a alcoholic. That can be a very stressful situation to be in. I am glad that you are thinking of telling your boyfriend about your gambling and getting his advice and help. Right now you need all the support you can get. We are in this together. In the beginning of my recovery, I treated myself with a book, purse, ect.. for not gambling. Anything that will help you. Stay strong!! You can do it.
