Every 5 years or so, I dig a pretty good hole for myself. Getting arrested because I was stealing from lockers at a vacation resort followed by being pulled over for a DUI with a blood alcohol level of .140 several years later are a couple of my lowest points in life. After things were straightened out (meaning, buying my way out through the legal system) I would walk the straight and narrow for sometime but eventually I would stray off that path and onto the side streets and selfishness and impulse. My latest departure from living right comes in the form of gambling and credit card debt. Last week I finally folded under the tremendous pressure of constant bills coming in faster than I could pay them and let my wife in on my shame. I told her of the credit card debt, but did not mention the gambling. It’s wrong of me to hide the whole story from her, but that is the choice I made. I’m now waiting on a phone call from our bank regarding a personal loan I applied for to pay the cards off once and for all. It’s pure hell.
I’ve experience this feeling in my stomach a few times before. Each time saying “never again”, but each time I eventually succumb to stupidity and fail once more. One of these days my nine lives are going to be up and I’ll finally have to sleep in the bed that I’ve made for myself. I just hope and pray this is not that day.
I know how to live right. I know how to stay where the light is. I just need help.

Hey you sound like my partner. He is a happy little time bomb. I think that people like yourself and him, get bored by having it all together and you're only content when there are dramas in your life. It usuallly comes from having an unstable childhood. I bet your wife is a control freak too isn't she?

Homer: This place is depressing.
Grampa: Hey! I live here.
Homer: Oh, well, I'm sure it's a blast once you get used to it.

Listen... I know I am a smartass who would normally say something sarcastic or rude, but obviously that would not be funny or constructive here. I too am well-versed in the art of self-sabotage. I have never been arrested (knock wood), but I have been a complete ass with my money/credit, and I've also done some really, really, just fatally stupid things with men and relationships - all of which have taken me to periodic "low points" that are painful and embarrassing. The wake-up moment for me was the spectacularly humiliating demise of my last relationship, which was followed closely by my 31st birthday. It's time to grow up, my friend. If you ever want to talk to a non-judgmental stranger (hey, sometimes it helps), my email is emililly78.at.yahoo.com.
And if this is fictional, well, screw you.

Hey, come on guys, what say we all chip in and help a fella out? I'm sure plenty of us are in a position to afford a couple of pound or so, and while it isn't much it would all add up to something, right?

I'm currently undergoing one of these instances my self and I can tell you this: it's never as bad as it seems but the only way to truly burden yourself is through complete honesty and truthfulness. I say you open up to your wife and tell her why or else you'll be in the same position again. Confronting your problems is never easy but being so ashamed and disappointing in yourself, then compounding that with the fact that you shamed and disappointed someone else is usually enough guilt to keep you on the right path.
Good luck to you.
