When we “come clean” it means we are kissing Gambling goodbye in a way, AddicT, so maybe that’s why you feel a bit down. Let’s face it, for most CGs, gambling is the Love of our Lives!
Why not phone the GA Helpline to arrange for one of the members to “walk you in ” for your first visit I remember doing that years ago. A very nice man waited outside for me. Introduced me to the Group. It means you can’t change your mind in the car park!
Turning our backs on gambling can be like a bereavement !
Give yourself time to “mourn”!
Maybe your G/F could attend Gamanon or the Friends and Family Forum here. She will need help if she intends supporting you!
Well done on taking such brave steps!
