Afternoon all,

First of all, thank you so much for reading this.

Long story short, been football gambling online for the past couple of years. Although my wife knew what I was doing my answer was always “only a couple of weeks when the footie is on”. 

It all started a couple of years ago as I never ever gambled on anything before. Started just for a laugh and then just literally never stopped. My wife confronted me on Monday and I admitted what was going on. Of course she was/is very angry and I honestly don’t know if we will stay together (12 years as a couple, 6 married) I felt somehow relieved that I managed to take that weight off my shoulders. 

I knew I had a problem but never talked to anyone (felt very ashamed!). 

I haven’t gamble since Monday, zero cravings or needs and just the facto of thinking about gambling it makes me sick. 

I believe I will never do that again but my wife doesn’t believe me. I don’t want to lose her. I messed up but deep inside me I know that’s in the past now. 

Have a good weekend you all. 

Diego

Hello Diego,
How has you week and weekend been? Do you have a plan to beat this or are you hoping that the cravings don't return?

Chris.
