Hi Laura, Just wanted to say hi and welcome to GT. It is good to see you continuing to post. Many begin and then stop. I feel for you, as my mother was also an alcoholic . Though she was somewhat functioning. Always the secrecy and I had a lot of shame and guilt. Sometimes with gambling I wonder if I am addicted to the shame and guilt and secrecy of it all as well as the escape . Anyway, it is good to see you taking control of things. You have a lot to look forward to with your studies. Gambling can rob you of many things. Keep taking it ODAAT. You are doing great! I like that you are giving yourself little rewards and chocolate is a good one!
