Hi Kathryn
I dont know girl, i would be mad too.. I think its pretty cruel !! I am sure if your husband was an alcoholic you wouldn’t come home drunk to him.. i totally get if you are upset, you have worked extremely hard at this addiction.. to me, he is aware of what devastation was caused and how hard you have worked and to me it would feel like a slap in the face that he decides its ok for him.. doesnt show much support.. grrrrr i actually felt angry reading it.. i do know what velvet is saying.. but i also see from this side too that that would be hard to take.. maybe you could talk to him and tell him about how hard you have worked at this recovery, how upsetting it is to you that he has lied about this and why he feels the need to go gamble himself. That is just my view though, i totally understand.. i guess because i know how hard we have to work to be gamble free.. i just find with peoples knowledge of this and then going out and doing it themselves is a bit insensitive.. You have done exceptionally well on this journey Kathryn and you have been through many things along the way and you have got through all of them.. dont let this one be any different, let it make you all the more strong..
