Ty for your post on my thread. Yes, getting treatment helped me work through the issues I needed to but I was already six months gf when I did it. I had to do it though as when we stop for any length of time those issues will come up as well as initial mood swings. Getting support is very important whether it be GA, counselling or on this site. For me Gordon moody and the site were sufficient.
nI am very pleased you did your essential shopping and bought yourself a book. Recovery means that we should do things for ourselves. For me it was facials, eating good food, nails and pedicures. Right now maybe we cannot do those things but we can have a pampered bath, face packs, a visit for a hairdo etc. It was very important to me to feel good about who I am, both internally and externally, to forgive myself for the financial mayhem I caused mostly myself and to accept I will have a lifelong problem. I will never be cured. I can only make the good choice not to gamble one day at a time.
