Hi, Congratulations and pray your first meeting went well for you. You have many aspects in your favour in getting your addiction under 'control'. First, you have admitted your addiction. Second, you are willing to do something about it. Third, you have a supportive partner. Fourth, you still have 'youth' on your side. etc. etc.
Now you have to realize that this illness will always be with us but we can, with hard work and an open mind recover and live a wholesome, fullfilling, happy life a day at a time. Throw yourself into the program, don't mix with gamblers, don't go anywhere near gambling and live a new, fantastic life.
I love my GA family and don't risk the life I have today for anything or anyone. I have a feeling that you will be one of the fortunate people who will grasp this new life.
You take care
Your friend in GA fellowship
