HI All, it is amazing to read your posts and understand what you are going through. I feel terrible for you and your ex…it is so hard to be in the thores of an addition and feel so helpless…I am so afraid to tell my wife about my addiction. I know she will leave me. I have lost about 30K to gambling and have been paying off my debt with my 401K…it is terrible. I have stopped and vowed never to do it again but I am not sure it is enough so I am seeking help here…I am desperate to change and make my life worthwhile again but it is very hard since I feel sick about myself and my actions…I told my parents and my best friend’s but not my wife. The problem is we just bought a house together and she has been threatening to divorce me for years, this will be the straw that broke the camels back..I am a compulsive gambler and I need help!! Thanks for listening and again I am sorry for you and your ex…I am sure he loves you but he definitely does not love himself which is first and foremost the only way change will happen
