Hi Gemen,
welcome to the forum. Is your job in the industry immersed in the act of gambling somehow (not asking you to specify) and so you feel applying for work in your industry will make it difficult for you to stay away from gambling yourself?
If that is the case you may have to make a difficult choice and try and find work in a different industry. If your wife is standing by you is she also helping with the finances? We feel terrible when we have to face the consequences but i know I’ve been able to get over that feeling before.
Keep reading and posting. It helps to have the support of the community. Gives us advice and I know sometimes it’s been the thought of coming here and posting that I gambled that stopped me long enough to think.
Take care, have a gamble free day!
Laura
