This is the first time I’ve talked about this to anyone. I relapsed from gambling during the winter just as I was about to finish paying off debt from my first gambling episode. I’m married with two small children. Currently I’m 30k more in debt in personal loans. I already contribute 1800/month to my wife’s bank account because I wanted to be rid of controlling any money. Now I’m paying these loans out my limited funds that I get every two weeks and my wife has no idea. I’m pretty sure this will be the end of my family and I don’t know how to tell her. This will be my 2nd relapse. I was 2 years clean till this recent break. I have no desire to gamble anymore.

this can b prevented by knowing the ins and outs of being addicted to gambling. Its great that you have opened up to others in the same situation. as long as your willing to go through the process of changing behavours and wanting to get back to a life of never gambling again your future looks bright. One day at a time is key. Start by putting all your barriers in place. I believe in rewarding yourself to for not gambling as well in small ways at first and in bigger ways the longer you stay gamble free.
Try to get back to the simple things too. Things that made you happy before gambling. Reconnect with people you love and friends you will have time for now the you want to take gambling out of the picture. I believe its important to stay busy while you restructure your life style. I hope you find this information useful and that you can see life as it is truly meant to be. FG
