So gambling wise things are going well as i havent and still feel like i wont most of the time. I am finding it difficult finding time for myself between working and doing family things with the kids etc. And that is the only tinme i feel like gambling. i think its the stress of having no time to do anything other than work and what other people want to do. Makes me sound selfish but putting work and family first leaves no time for myself to have any hobbies etc. Lockdown has not helped with this as grandparents cannot help out with the kids, but still its how i feel.

nIve managed to get a loan to pay off my credit card from my bank at an affordable repayment each month so thats really positive.
n
nAm staying focussed and there will be no relapses here. Am sure of it.

So this week i handed over my bank cards and the maxed out credit card to my wife. I have also applied for a loan to repay the credit card with a lower intrest rate. But up to yet i havent had an application accepted.

My next plan is to join the new comers group session on here monday night.

Im still feeling positive and all the steps i am taking are helping with that.

I am still worried if i cant get a lone though as the intrest on the credit card is so high.

I havent even thoughy or felt like gambling as i am so focussed on puting my mess right.

Thank you for your message and it is so nice to know that other people are in a simlar situation and i am not alone. I think your  advice about giving up my finances is a good one and which may help over time to re build some trust hopefully.

Im sorry to here that you have also been lieing to your loved ones but it seems you have already taken some steps to help beat your addiction.

I will try and post here often as i think it is going to be a big help for me moving forward. 

I am also determind to be honest even if like you say it is not what my wife wants to here. It will be good for is both.
