Hi, Hoping you are o'k. You mentioned a lot of words in your previous posts that I would have used when I was actively gambling. ie 'guilt', 'shame', 'killing me', I thought gambling was going to kill me and it nearly did, thanks for the Grace of God I got into a GA meeting and have been there ever since. I could never have had abstinece without GA. I had tried many other things but I could always pull the wool over their eyes and only told them what I thought they wanted to hear. Unfortunately my long time relationship broke up after a few months in GA but guess I did him a favour in the long run. He was actually enabling me so I realized that for me to have long term recovery I had to set him free. See if you can get your wife to go along to a meeting with you.
God grant you serenity and peace
