This is one of my biggest struggles as well.. I am ok with letting close family know about my gambling addiction but dont tell friends.. In the past I have gone to the casino with a friend and because I am with them am able to put on a front and pretend Im still a social, having fun gambler rather than having a serious problem and running to the bank machine every 5 minutes..but then I have to go back on my own and stay for hours… last fall I had quit for 3 months but because I didnt want to say no to a friend to going to the casino I started all over again .. this is something I have to figure out as well
