I don’t blame your partner for having enough of your gambling. Mine was having enough with my gambling or what he knew of it. I hid a lot of it until I couldn’t hide it any more. It kind of imploded on me. And then boy what a confession.
I guess the question is have YOU had enough of your gambling? I didn’t know whether my hubby would stay or go, but I knew I had had enough of my gambling too. No matter what he chose. That’s why I made the efforts I did. And actions will speak louder than words to your partner. GA meetings and having your head in them would be a good start. Anyone else in your family you trust that would help with your money? Do you have any idea what you owe and how you are going to pay it all? I went to a non profit credit counseling service for advice. It’s a lot to ask someone to take on so you need to know what you are asking them to do and be able to give them all your figures. And what about addictions counseling. This is tough to stop. You have to use as many tools as you can to stop. And stay stopped. Gambling causes too much chaos for us that are compulsive gamblers. The calm can start with one day. It’s good you came back.
