Hi Mamakate.
From what you have said your husbands problem is not “LIKE” gambling addiction it “IS” gambling addiction. I am a compulsive gambler and have been going to GA for a long time now. I have seen many forms of gambling, including stocks and shares, and it is all the same addiction. Yes we all have our favourite “drug of choice” whether that be sports, horses, casinos or whatever but it is all the same addiction. It just sounds like your husbands drug of choice has been investments.
I have also seen that the addiction isn’t too fussy about how it gets its fix. It is good that he now has financial accountability as, with the investments being stopped, other forms of gambling might become more attractive as it looks for that fix. The advice would be for him to avoid all forms of gambling.
You say that you now have total control of the accounts. While financial accountability is important it is also important that you are both involved in financial decisions, household budgeting etc. It is an important part of recovery to regain the value and understanding of money. It is also a cop out for him to now sit back and let you take all the financial decisions and the stress that can bring.
It sounds like he has a support network and he is using it. Make sure that you use support for YOU as well. Maintaining a journal here could be part of that. Your husband would be welcome at any GA meeting – he is as much of a compulsive gamber as anyone else that he would meet there.
I hope these thoughts from “the other side” help. Keep posting here and make sure that you use the support that is available for YOU.
