Secret Addiction

Please pray for me as I am continuously downplay my gambling and drinking problems. I recognize I have an issue and have tried stopping many times. I made excuses, set unrealistic expectations and have never fully given it over to God. I need the strength and ability to overcome my addictions that I know can only come from God. I take advantage of my spouse, family, and friends goodness in order to continue to gamble. I’m too ashamed and embarrassed to open up about this to anyone. I have always been known as a strong woman and have overcome so many problems over the years with God’s help. Please pray I will be lifted out of this situation.
