Believe me – it will be fine.
Gambling – even when we are in recovery is one of the biggest things in our lives – but most of our friends hardly ever think about it. The reaction will be much less than you fear … probably the facebook equivalent of a shrug. Hopefully your friends will be supportive – why shouldn’t they be?
The important thing is that you have done it – and it will be a relief that others close to you know. It will also help cement your new identity as a “former gambler,” or whatever phrase feels right for you – as you will think twice about gambling as it will conflict with how you see yourself now. Think of it as another barrier in the way.
Treat yourself tonight or tomorrow … you deserve it!
