      From AaronM October 7

      You are truly lucky...My wife left me 2 months ago when she caught me in a lie about spending money we didn't have on gambling. During confession I asked for her help and support to beat my addiction thru attending GA meetings (never been) or by whatever means necessary, and her response was goodbye. This was the second time that I had done this through out our 13 yr relationship and both times added together totaled $700.00 Never once did our lifestyle go into jepordy all the bills were paid on time and food was on the table so I convinced myself it wasn't a problem, but I knew that I was addicted to the rush of winning and lossing and I was constantly scared of what it could become in the future. Despite my repeated pleas for help and forgivness she still choose to leave and get her own place....Now I am struggling to hold onto my family and all she says is give me some space and I hear stories from common friends of her sleeping around since we have been apart. Her only response is "It's none of your business what I do with my life....Fuck off!!!" I am usually a very upbeat positive person but now I am in a dark state of depression and denial. My only reason for telling you this is because I relate to your story, the only difference is I hoped my story would turn out the way yours did for a second time. You are very lucky to have someone that loves you enough to see past your flaws and cares enough to pick you up and dust you off when you have fallen down. Best of luck on kicking the addiction and stay focused on what is most important in your life. Don't take for granted the second chance because the next time you tell him your story may end similar to mine with no third chance. Be strong!!!
