I don’t feel so alone when I read your wise words of support. The counsellor has been suggesting that I tell my elderly parents. This is something which I will and can never do, I can not and I will not put them through anymore grief as a result of my addiction and I stand firm on my decision in regard to this. I know that a GA runs of secretcy but this would not only hurt and upset them but also cause them much stress and with my elderly father, possibly kill him.
Any way moving ahead, two important things to attend to tomorrow and I hope for strength, positivity and with hope also that things will work out with my partner. I have imagined the worse but hope for the best.
I had a fleeting thought today about gambling as I had the time, a little money (not mine) and a good excuse to be absent for a few hours, I fought that thought and won! 47 days is possibly the longest that I have gone in 18 years. May there be many more gamble free days for us all.
