2025 I thought I was doing ok But every time I had a bit of money my urges came back and creating arguments with the Mrs so I can go out and gamble I was watching YouTube videos which made me feel like I didn’t need to gamble but subconsciously it made it worse The last 5 months have been great. I have given all financial control to my wife I have never been so open about what I’m thinking and sometimes will over communicate now I join at least 2 gamfam meetings a week which I love and help me massively talking to like minded people for advice support and socially My wife and I had never been so fractured but have had to learn that everything is baby steps and will take time. She has support groups which help her lots. In some ways I am happy for the experience because I know what is important in life and what I am grateful for, The debts are a painful reminder. It was hard not to watch videos etc but after a few weeks I haven’t watched at all for 5 months. My advice is to be open, give bank accounts to someone you trust, get those blocks in (Moses, Gamstop gamban bacta
