Welcome,
I’m glad you have found this forum.
Closing your accounts is a good step, no access to money = no gambling for starts.
Maybe its time to come clean to your partner. That money isn’t coming back.
I know that can seem daunting, its a scary thing to do.
Your partner may be able to take control of the finances for a while so you can get your bearings and start to work recovery.
As Harry said, there are blockers you can put on your computer for gambling sites. Limiting your access to any kind of gambling gives you the opportunity to clear your mind a little bit.
Are there any GA meetings in your area? That may also be a big help, sharing with others who have the same addiction and understand what you are going through?
You can live a gamble free life. It is possible. I wish I could say it was easy but if it was we wouldn’t be here.
But its worth it.
Keep reading and posting, join the groups, learn about how to manage this addiction, it all adds up.
Take care,
K xxxxx
