      This seems like a great space for me to share my story. My long term partner was a high scorer and we fell in love in college and the gambling problem
      was merely a FUN thing he used to do and something which i thought was fun. He proposed to my for marriage but i kept hesitating without really
      knowing what the hesitation was about. Finally i was so relieved to not have married him when we had to hospitalize him for chronic gambling problem
      through not just offline but also online mediums. That is when i began my self education on relationship dynamics and understanding addiction esp the
      neurological pathways affected by addiction better. I began my journey with this Hockenbury’s book called Discovering Psychology. Now i am working as a deaddiction counsellor and my partner and i are making progress in
      our relationship.
