Welcome.
I’m happy to read of your commitment to turn your life around.
Gambling takes so much from us, not just money. The time you lose with your family can never be replaced.
So wonderful to read that your wife is on board with you. Yes, we have to be the ones to stop, but having that support makes it a lot easier. Being accountable to someone can be a huge help.
You sound like a very determined man! I look forward to reading how your GA meeting goes, along with your counselling. Taking the first steps are so hard, and life doesn’t become magically wonderful. But geez, life is so so much better without gambling in it. To be present in the moment with your children, to not be all consumed is life changing.
Congratulations on taking the steps necessary to manage your addiction. You should be proud of yourself.
Until next time,
Kathryn xx
