Hi There,
Well done on your continued progress and well done on telling your loved one, obviously things won’t be good for a while but I am sure she will come through this as long as your actions are louder than words. I know you are struggling at the moment but stay strong and focused, the way I looked at it was I had 20 years of gambling, being selfish, being not a very nice person and now I was on the straight and narrow it was time to do a bit of hard time…. Its not going to be pleasant but you just have to get your head down and get on with it. Think about the amount of effort you put into gambling when you was gambling, you need to put that much effort and more to stay clean, having said that after a while you will see some light, debts get cleared, bills get paid, you sleep easier at night and most of all you will have the trust and respect of your loved ones back.
With regards to keeping a ***** of the days, yeah don’t bother with that, thats rubbish, I mean I don’t even keep track of the fact that its been 1544 days 14 hours 46 minutes and 17 seconds since my last bet ;o)
Stay strong
Cheers
CarlMy soul is back
