Sorry I didn’t get back to you before now.
Thanks for taking the trouble to look at my thread.
You might still have the monkey on your back, but remember that even when the monkey is off your back, well that dosn’t mean the circus has left town.
I don’t know any definitive answers Tina, I’m just another CG like everybody else here.
I don’t gamble now though. But I did do a long long time. It took me a long time to actually believe I could stop gambling, and then longer again to accept I could change my whole philosophy on life, and implement massive changes in my life.
I think differently now and I behave differently.
Your post caught my eye, I’ve seen lots of posts over the years asking “should I tell my partner?” Yours stuck out asking “how” rather than if. And I suppose that’s why I took exception to somebody commenting that it might not be necessary.
In an ideal world Tina it would have been great to see you post back last week saying you’d told him and this happened or that happened. But the world of a CG is far from ideal and I would have been bowled over if that had of actually happened.
It’s crazy that we just put it off and put it off. Many put it off too long and wait until that stuff hits the fan, the whole situation is different then. A lot worse.
I hope you find the courage to get it done Tina, you’ve read a bit of my story you can imagine how tough I found having to own up to things, but in order to draw a line on my gambling past that is what I’ve had to do.
I’m actually at wok now but sneaked home for a break its 0320 Tuesday in UK, I guess you’ll be at work now.
Have you managed to speak to the counsellor yet?
I got to go Tina, please keep us informed as to how it goes.
Take Care.
