Hi I read Velvet’s plea and thought I’d update. I joined the site over 2 years ago and it completely changed my life. My ex is still gambling although had a significant periodic abstinence. We have a daughter who is 6 now. She’s well. But she’s only doing well because she gave me the impetus to stand up to addiction.. Velvet and many others gave me the strength and self belief back. I use the support group although haven’t posted.

I think I constantly need to remind myself not to underestimate the addiction ..then remind myself I’m rationale and stronger.. I read posts and reread my own post when I have self doubt..but above all I understand!.

Keep posting!
