I think I have a gambling addiction?!
Question:
I think I have a gambling addiction?
I'm moving to a new city to be with my girlfriend. We've been living apart long distance for the last year. I've been gambling alot over the last year and took a 1500 hit this weekend and I think I hit rock bottom. I know if she knew this she wouldn't be very happy. I need money to move away with and I want this addiction to end. I don't want her to know I have thet addiction in fear of her leaving me and I want to quit when I get up there. But I don't want her to know I'd be going to counselling or whatever. We'll be living together and I can't tell her I'm going to counselling. What should I do?
Answers:
You don't want to be honest with her? Hrm! That's no way to start the relationship, where's the Trust! Your cheating yourself and her out of the honesty it takes to make a relationship work!
Just ask for her support and see someone or attend groups for gambling addiction when you get there.
