hi

Hi Fiona,

I am glad that everything is now out in the open for you. I expect the relief from the stress feels good. I suggest you try to let go any thoughts you may have regarding wishing you could get the money back. Whilst the losses still eat away at you, the urge to gamble will increase. You have have to accept that it is gone for good and can only be recovered by working hard for it and leading a gamble free life. The first time I stopped gambling, I hadn't accepted the amount I lost and I hadn't fully accepted that I was a compulsive gambler. The money played on the back of my mind and after a few months I started gambling again. The second time it was more severe. I was very lucky and my partner decided to stay with me after coming clean a second time.

I am now attending GA meetings and although I have only been to 2, they have made a huge difference. If you can attend, then do so as fast as you can.

Good luck
