The minute i read your post, I immediately signed in. You have described many of my days. Many of my internal fights, and also my disappointments. When I read it I thought, there are so many more like me.
I found myself in a very similar situation. We both could be living nice comfortable lives, instead we screwed up things, and we are in a position we're we are very ashamed of what we have done.
I have also a huge problem just like you do. We once approached our GF for understanding. I believe that your, like mine, didn't liked it but we're supportive. And the we relapsed. And now we don't know how they will react.
Unfortunately, i think that i understand you really well. I'm also not inclined to share this with her.
I'll be chased probably by saying it, but my gf is really important to me, and I don't want to see that look of disapproval on her again.
For now, I'll try to work it out, with the support of the members of this forum. One day I'll probably tell her. But I just want say it, when I'm ready, to say, that i no longer gamble, or that i control my urges to play.
I should have a nice saving, after several years working abroad with a nice salary. I don't.
My next paycheck is to settle my Credit cards.
Today I say I'll stop gambling. Today is my first day. This time is for real!
Hope that you keep a positive thinking and that you can find some comfort here.
Regards
