Good on you for making the first steps! It take a big person to realise it’s an issue and a bigger person to give it up. You have you whole life ahead of you and the damage can be undone. Keep reminding yourself of how lucky you are to be in collage and doing a degree that should hopefully start you on a comfortable life. Those friends, you need to avoid I hate to say it. Some people can casually gamble within their means and walk away, others like you and I will keep chasing.
Every time you want to gamble remind yourself of the future you want. A loss leads to a chase. A win leads to a “lucky streak” when ends always in a loss bigger then the win. You got this, and your not alone 🙂
