I can’t breathe eat or sleep. I am a disgusting person & have been lying to my husband who is my best friend and we have a WONDERFUL (had a wonderful) relationship. Perfect picture life. I have been gambling for the past year and have lied to him about the money, a lot of money. I am so sad & I know this trauma is impacting my 10 year old daughter. Because her dad is not home in the happy place with laughter like it usually is. I have broken his trust & taken his daughters away from indirectly because he can’t be around me. The kids miss him & I know he misses them. But it is too hard for him to be in our home.

Sometimes we are our own worst critic. I’m sorry you are struggling. I have been where you are. It may not seem like it now but the days do get better. This really is a one day at a time thing.
The best thing that I did was remove the temptation by joining my state’s responsible gaming database. I am not even able to log onto an online gaming site for 5 years. If you are in the US check to see if your state has a database to exclude from gambling sites.
Regret is one of the most powerful emotions. What is making you say all of that is regret.
Everything can be fixed with time. No matter how much money you lost at a given point you didn’t have it and managed to work and rebuild ur finances. Finances can always be rebuilt. What’s crazy is do you ever notice that money obtained from your job for example has a sweetness to it that can’t be found in money won.
I like what you wrote Casper a person can rebuild and money earned is sweeter. Wise words !
