Getting an accepting help is the hardest part of recovery. I found until I was fully honest about my addiction to the people in my life it just kept continuing. I didn’t have long periods of gambling mine was more really bad binges in a 2 year span but the damage I did in a short time was enough to ruin who I was inside and out. I recommend getting a counselor and a sponsor to help you do step work. You definitely will need those supports. Wishing you lots of strength
