Hi RJ,
Well done on accepting that you have a problem and reaching out for help.
You are young , but certainly not dumb- you have a gambling addiction.
Try to put barriers in place so cannot gamble – I use betfilter on my phone to block gambling activities .
Can you get someone else to manage your money for now ?
It is a really hard addiction to overcome but you have youth on your side and the world at your feet .
Keep posting – you will get lot of helpful advice on here !
