Hi, I joined today. Came here a few days ago after finally admitting my 8 years of lies, deceit and huge debts to my partner. Fully expected him to throw me out, but he hasn't. He has supported me and loved me.
I have no idea why or how I started gambling but I can't go back to that life anymore.
Its so hard to think of other things to do as I have isolated myself from family and friends. But each day not gambling is a small victory for me.
Never felt lower, but am starting the uphill climb to being level again.
Well done for making the first step. I am here for the second time and like you the hardest part I find is trying to find other things to do, (my house has never been so clean and tidy).
I have started doing diamond art in the evenings which keeps me busy, taking the dog for a longer walk. It's only been a few days for me so I'm sure I'll have bad days.
Keep coming on here and reading people's stories they really do help.
Stay positive and strong x
