Green Gambling

What would you do if you found out your husband was internet gambling? my husband has been hiding internet gambling for 6months. He is now going to gamblers' anonymous meetings, but I am still so mad at him. He has accumulated alot of unnessary debt. I don't know how to regain trust back. We have been married 12 years now-

Does anyone know from experience whether or not an online gambler can acutally quit? My husband has admitted to gambling online and says he will never do it again. He is going to gamblers anonymous meetings and working more to pay off his debt from this activity. I am worried about the future. Is it possible for him to quit if he says he will? I don't want to live like this in the future, and want to know if I should give him just one chance or not? We have been married twelve years and have an eleven year old son-

My bestfriend is a GAMBLER. How can I help her? My bestfriend is gambling her life away. Six years ago, she had +500,000 in her bank account. Now, she owes $200,000. She has a business and earns good money. At home, she lives a simple life (no extravagance) with her aging mom. Unfortunately, she has a dark secret. The past 6 years, she has turned into a high-roller gambling away thousands per hand on black jack. She is now very dependent on gambling and she recognizes her addiction but she ABSOLUTELY does not want to sign out from the casinos nor does she want to attend Gamblers Anonymous meetings. She also made me promise not to tell any of our friends and family. I feel pressured every time she talks about her bills. I don't know what to do. I see her situation getting worse. She tells me that she hates gambling and wish she can stop---BUT that she cannot because of her bills. She is always hopeful because she counts the occasional winnings but she does not count the 'more-frequent' losses. HELP!! Any suggestions?

would anyone give their husband a chance if you found out he was internet gambling? I found out my husband has been hiding internet gambling for 6 months. he has accumlated debt now that I am upset about. He has never made any mistakes in our twelve year marriage, and he is attending gambler's anonymous meetings. Should I stay with him and give him a chance? I never thought in a million years I would have to deal with a problem like this in my marriage, and I am scared it might happen again five years down the road because of what I have read about gambling in the past few weeks. Do you all think it is possible for him to really stop like he promises he will?

I have a friend who is a heroin user. He does not know that I know. I found out on my own. How can I handle? This person is very special to me. He worked for me in my home for the past 7 months. The drugs have no interfered with his ability to do his job. He is often very depressed. I want to let him know that I know but am afraid if I do he will be so embarrassed that he will run away. What is the best way to let him know I am aware of the problem and that I will not run. I have no experience with this type of problem. I want this person to stay in my life forever and am so frightened he will leave. He will not be working for me anymore in 2 weeks, but that is unrelated to his problem. He goes to meetings regularly but tells me they are Gamblers Anonymous as he is too embarassed. He has alot of pride. Also how can i deal with his mood swings? What can I do to help him.

gambling addiction? I need help, I have a gambling addiction, does anyone know of any on-line sites that would be helpful. I have been to gamblers anonymous sites, and basically, they confirm that I have an addiction. There are no gamblersanonymous meetings with-in a 2 to 3 hour ride from my home, so I was looking for some kind of on-line support. Any help is appreciated. Thank you

Any new moms who are in recovery? Any new moms in a 12-Step program such as Narcotics Anonymous, Alcoholics Anonymous, Overeaters Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous, Sex Addicts Anonymous, Alanon, Narcanon, Alateen etc.? If so, how's is going for you? Do you get to many meetings with new baby? Are you able to do servicework? Are people helpful in giving rides to and from meetings, if you need them? Have you ever been asked to leave a closed meeting because of baby? Anything else you'd like to add or share? Shout-outs to homegroups welcome and appreciated, as well as sobriety/recovery dates. My homegroup is the Thursday Noon Brownbaggers Group. I've been clean and sober since January 29, 2006. Connor's Mommy...try Alanon for 90 days. If you don't like it, they'll refund your misery in full. Put half the effort into Alanon that you put into fretting over the alkie in your life, and you'll be golden. We are miracles! Hugs for reintroducing! Kat- that so does count. I don't know the name of the anorexia support group. My family came to my family sessions in rehab and it meant the world to me. Hugs and prayers.

What is going on with my husband....? My husband is a compulsive gambler, as far as I know he is not gambling now. He did attend Gamblers Anonymous for 3 years but now does not go as he does not want the constant reminder and feels like he is being treated like a child at the meetings. He says his debt is reminder enough. 3 months ago he decided he was no longer sure if he wanted to continue being married to me or if he wanted to 'set me free' and not have to be answerable to me. We are currently in the process of legally having the finances sorted out to enable us to go our seperate ways. He says he may well live to regret his decision to finish our marriage, although he does not want a divorce yet but at the moment cannot put the effort into our marriage to make it work. He wants us to remain friends, says he loves me but not sure if he is 'in love' with me. Says the problem is with him not me, he does not feel able to put the work into saving our marriage. Have you any idea what he's thinking, please help. We have been married almost 8 years and have been quite happy before this, never any major problems. I love him and would like to make our marriage work but he will not discuss the problems in our marriage and says he just does not know if he wants me or not. I am going away for a week soon for some space to think. Will this make him see what life will be like without me?

Help my husband is a complusive gambler I have searched for some online forums with no results!? I am unable to attend meetings in my area.. and he is in denial! From all the information I have read online.. he fits the profile! I can't discuss this with our families because they wouldn't understand. They would be put in the middle with his family hating me and mine hating him. I just need a support group to help me get through this thing...He gets angry when I try to reason with him regarding his spending problem and says I am treating him like a child. I am at my wits end. He is not only gambling with our finances, he is gambling with our relationship as well. I would like to find an anonymous forum for families of gamblers that could network at times when they need to...

We need help!? Gamblers, alcoholics.drug addicts all get assistance from the state. What about us Gobshites.(for the benefit of our american friends, Gob means face, and shite =shit. the term implies someone who is an absolute idiot. We gobshites have suffered ridicule from an early age ,through no fault of our own. My father was a gobshite ,as was his father it's a genetic thing I would like to attend GA meetings (gobshite anonymous) and discuss the full implications surrounding this condition. Please will all you gobshites out there get in touch? Regards, Mick
