hi
my name is paul . jan 4th 2010 the bubble burst in my head and told my wife that i was gambling. i couldn't bear the lies anymore. she went berserk and quite right too. i then told her parents they weren't impressed. we were in debt so 8 months ago plus tried to get ahead of my self by being up one minute and down the next with this dread ful illness i couldn't take it anymore. with 2 young children and a wife to support i was out of control. she has told me she doesn't love me and can't stand the site of me and now wants to seperate. i went to my first GA meeting the following week. broke down emotionly in front of other gamblers wasn't a pretty site. so as i said 4th jan 2010 my life came crashing down and ended. the new me started 5th jan 2010. i am going to have to take this journey by myself. i attend GA every week it is a great help. i feel more positive that this cloud of lies is starting to lift. my wife well i hope she forgives me one day and realizes it is an illness and not just a bit of fun.
so for anyone who is worried about telling there other halves just be honest what will be will be. you are still the same person inside before this addition took hold don't forget that and be true to yourself. god bless
