  Hi All,
  
  I am a 30 year old male, happily married, good job (50k per year salary) about to by a house with my amazing wife.
  
  However i seem to have found myself in this ever descending spiral of gambling addiction. I gamble for 3 months, then i stop for 3 months, then i do it again and around and around i go and i wish i could get off this merry go round.
  
  This time i have been gambling the money i have saved towards our house. I have not lost it all, but i have lost enough to mean i have to live off next to nothing for the next 2 months in order to pay for the house options and not make my wife aware.
  
  I dont want to tell her, or my family, i am ashamed and embarrassed :(. I just want to get on with my life, put it all behind me and forget about gambling ever again without having to tell anyone.
  
  Sorry to go on, but this is fresh in my head today. I want to keep saying to myself that i have “gambled my last pound”
  
  Thanks

  Hi there, self-exclude and stop this madness before you lose it all.
  
  That’s it. But you have to do it.
  
  Good luck.

  Hi thanks for the reply…. I have tried self excluding in the past however every time I want to gamble I just find a new casino that I can use…it’s pretty desperate really.
  
  Thanks again

  What you earn or how much money lost is irrelevant.
  
  The lies, deciept, shame and self respect for yourself is lost.
  
  As a recovering addict myself it’s important we all remember that.
