So the end of September my dad suddenly passed away for a heart attack he was only 63. Then 2 weeks later I found out my partner of 10 years was cheating on me. I always had a problem with gambling but it’s never stopped me paying bills or making sure my family was provided for with everything they needed, but since having to move out I have been drinking more and gambling alot to the point I have missed payment’s of bills and am properly skint it’s gone to a whole nother level. I did manage to complete stop gambling for about 2 years before and it was such a good feeling but. The last year I had started again and now it’s out of control. I’m not worried I can’t get money back but don’t want to keep giving it all to the casinos and bookmakers. I’m hoping writing this down will help. I’m not sure if it’s sadness causing it or if I have just stopped caring about consequences, perhaps before I felt I don’t gamble for other people and not because I didn’t want to. But now writing this it’s making me think, I’m sure the last 3 weeks it has been chasing losses not I stupid buzz. I don’t know just this some how helps

Kevincc,
I am sorry to hear about your father, loss is one of the hardest parts of living.
Going through this kind of loss and the end of a 10 year relationship is a lot in a very short period of time. Don’t let gambling ruin you, seek a therapist. Get the support you need… you know as well as I do, gambling won’t solve anything. ❤️
I hope you’re doing well since your post.
