Hey James, reading your post and want to say well done on taking your addiction serious and putting in place a lot of things t help you deal with it in a healthy way. I found putting place financial accountability a good tool as well. For a little while I had an allowance and then went to having my account monitored and keeping ALL receipts to account for purchases. No sneaky returns etc. It was what I wanted. It made me feel safer with my recovery knowing I was accountable to someone. Not sure if it was that that helped with urges or the fact I felt so crappy about it all really. But I wanted to put as many hoses on the 4 alarm fire. I too attended GA meetings and went for addictions counseling. Couples counseling should be positive as well. I also was lucky to have close family who supported me. And they where proud of me for dealing with it. I hope you are able to let us know how things are going. Good to meet you and well done on all the measures you are taking. Laura
