My DH said his first day was wonderful. He called everyone together. old and new, and boss and gave a speech about the last six months. He told everyone what had happened and how he was in GA and in recovery. He said there were many tears and afterwards two employees told him how much he had already helped them. They are addicts. His boss was very pleased and thanked him for sharing. He did tell his employees that he would try to answer any questions they may have about the "rumors" but yesterday was the only day he would elaborate on the past. Today is a new day.
We feel so blessed to be given a second chance. My Mother even said yesterday that it is a little scary because our whole family is happy and healthy. She is such a strong Christian but has always been a worrier. I guess that comes with having four girls. Poor woman. LOL
Thank you Lord for so giving us so much support and love during this difficult time. Also thank you for leading me to this wonderful DS that has helped me and my DH......
This morning, I sat on my porch and looked at the beautiful full moon. How can people not beleive there is a wonderful God...
P.S. The pond scum(friend that was DHs bookie) called my house yesterday to tell DH congratulations on job. He probably hated getting me on the phone. I told him he could not be our friend ANYMORE. He just did not get it. He said he was not the reason my DH gambled. I agreed with him but told him he was like a drug pusher. He provided the goods on a regular basis. I told him I do not blame him for DHs addiction but as a friend I blame him for feeding an addiction. HE IS NOT A FRIEND. Of course he did not get it. But I beleive I planted the seeds. I have decided that if he calls or tries to contact DH again, I am going to get DH to talk to boss about not allowing him on business premises. He has got to know WE MEAN STAy AWAY. From what I have gathered, he is probably hurting financially because my DH gambled through him for years.....

I am so overwhelmingly happy for you and your family that tears came pouring out my face. I reckon it's because I so desired to have that one more chance with my wife and was not able to obtain it. God bless you and your DH and GA. Love ya'll Vaporlock

Georgia, great news! Second chances have always been humbling for me, I love God's graciousness.
May your husband's GF life be a testimony to his ex-bookie that things *can* change, chains can be loosened, and that he himself can climb (or be pulled) out of the pond he has gotten himself into.
GB & BW (God bless and be well) xxoo - debs

It took a lot of courage for your DH to speak about his addiction, in front of all of his employees, a lot of courage and a lot of class. I can see why they offered him his job back. I've got my grand baby today, so I better log off and pay some attention to her. Take care, Love, robin

Thank you again for all your support. We have had a great week. DH also had to meet with fellow GM that asked him if he was really sincere. The other GM told my DH that he had told people that my DH was a f..ing loser. I was so proud of my DH when he responded y telling the GM that he made a mistake and was in recovery...He asked the other GM what he was going to tell his "people" now that he is back. He said "I will tell them we all make mistakes" We have all learned from this horrible addiction.
But the week has been great...
