Hi K: Nice to see your post and to see that you are still living life to the fullest. When I first read about your hubby, I was a bit alarmed because I thought it might trigger you. Thankfully, you are well into recovery, so you seem quite safe. I mention this because on both occasions that I went to counselling and had some months under my belt, my hubby was the one who triggered me to go back. While he played infrequently and much less money than I did, just having him playing poker and watching it on tv set me off. Over the last months of 2012, we both were into it pretty regularly. I gave him a talking to in November and he stopped cold. Unfortunately, I broke our pact to not gamble and went a few more times. I realize that perhaps if I had more time gamble free, it may not have been an issue for me. He has stopped completely and I am now working towards the same goal. It’s clear that he is not a cg, I’m still trying to accept the fact that I’m broken and he’s not. Hope things level out with your hubby. Have a gorgeous time at your annual tennis meet. It sounds like so much fun. Love, RG
