Re: “Dealing With An Addicted Loved One”

--Hi Darlen..Welcome, although I am new too..just yesterday. I
don't know if you read my intro but it tells my story. As far as
your situation, was your husband always gambling or pick it up after
the drugs (NA)...substituting one addiction for another? And did
you know about his addictions? Glad to "talk" to people about this
as I am homebound a lot with my autistic daughter. Red
