Hi Optimism, it’s good to read your latest post! Sorry I missed it as I had a death in the family and was away from the site for a little while.
Sounds like things are going really well right now. You have put measures in place to prevent your access to your bank accounts etc which can really lessen urges for a lot of people. You are filling your time with fulfilling activities with your wife and through work which help de-stress and build a strong relationship. And if or when you get urges you have support here and there are other places and ways of support when needed. Re read your first post and how it made you feel to hurt your wife and risk the best thing in your life and you will remember why you don’t want or can’t gamble again.
As Charles says, when you are due to to return to the US you can do research about where you are going and if you are still nervous about it talk with your wife and what you can do together to make sure you continue to stay on your preferred path! Sounds like she’s pretty savvy so far.
Hope you’ve had another great week. Take care,
Laura
P.S. Life is good and I can’t complain 🙂
