So today, I decided to tell my Fiancé about my addiction and it went better than I thought! We both shed some tears but she’s quite understanding. I told her that things will be different and I totally believe they will be because hearing her cry sent a strong message to me and I vow to never make her feel that way again! I feel that a huge weight has been lifted but I know that that was only the beginning in my journey to recovery. I feel 1000% better about this and I know that there are better days ahead!

This was great to hear. Having a similar thing happening with my girlfriend of 3 years. She was actually not that mad about the gambling (not happy
But not mad) she was mad that I was consistently lied about it. Honesty can help us get through almost anything.
Hi Cjg! Yes!! I’m so happy for you. Truth and love always win in the end. Keep up the good work. I believe in you.
You are absolutely right! Love does conquer all! Thanks for the words of positivity Diamond! And thanks for believing in me! I just need to learn to believe in myself!
Much love!
Hey Jack!
Hiding this from her was eating away at me from inside. I was pacing around the kitchen this morning and later expressed my anxiety to her. We’re set to get married this year and she thought it was stress from that (which there totally is) and then that’s when I let it all out. I’m so grateful to have a person like her in my life and so grateful for having joined this community. Otherwise who knows what would’ve happened if I kept this bottled in….
Good luck my friend! Better days to come!
Hey Cjg ! I am so happy for you! You finally did it. It is a very difficult step to recovery but a very important one. Congratulations !!
Hi Yolip!
Hope youre doing better today! You really helped me to get over this first hurdle by telling me about how you opened up to your husband. Even though we don’t know each other, I do feel that sense of friendship and compassion from you and all the others in here! Let’s do this! Let’s be freed from this vice and live like God intended us to live!

That’s wonderful that you were able too share your inner turmoil with your significant other.
That’s part I believe of having and building a strong relationship. You journey this world together. What a wonderful place too be. I wish for the two of you plus. Many happy years together.
Congratulations on 48 hours well said 🙂
That saying all for one and one for all holds true here.
Hugs Have a wonderful day!
Hi Serenity!
By sharing my turmoil I feel like I let the demon out so that my spirit can settle back in. The days of misery and dread will all soon be replaced by happiness and joy for me and for everyone here! I appreciate you and all your kind words!
Hugs thank you for your message. Enjoy your day. Ttyl
Thanks Phil!
It sure was tough but it was something that had to be done. I do need to tell those that a near and dear to me still but that will come soon enough. This is not my first go around with breaking down as I had a similar situation with my mother about 12 years ago. Im done living like this! I think we’re all done living like this!
