I did tell her that I was done with that lifestyle. I didn’t ask her for the money but wan’t to get it through the bank with her help. She did lecture me but she didn’t tell me things I didn’t alread know. Just that if you haven’t been through it you really don’t undersand what the other person is going through. I didn’t check for local GA meetings but I did make an appointment with a psychotherapist.

So I built the courage to tell my sister and she was not very understanding having helped me once before. She doesnt want to tell her husband because he helped me before. Don’t know what to do now. Was hoping for financial help so that I can concentrate on recovery but I’m left feeling helpless.

Almost build the courage today to tell my sister. I was so close to getting it off my chest and was really looking forward to it. I must say though it’s been a while I haven’t placed a bet and it feels great. Don’t have that stress of winning or losing. Once I tell my sister I’m sure that I’ll have a big load of my shoulders. Sorry if I keep rambling on this forum but it’s helping me alot. There’s not many people who understand.

I’m really at peace with myself and haven’t made a wager today. I’m just trying to build the courage to tell my family. I’m afraid of all the questions and the embarassement I’ll have to face but most of all I’m afraid that they will say no to helping me financially. It’s not as they would have to give me their own money but it would be a mortgage. How do I start to tell them? As I mentioned earlier they helped me once before as I had lost money investing. Now it would be another 40000$ on top of that. I think I’m okay without placing another wager as long as I could get out of this mess. I’ve read lots of other stories on this forum and I know I’m not alone. Just not sure if they will understand what I’ve been going through.
