Hi vintagehoby,
Welcome to the forum and well done on taking a positive step admitting the problem, and looking for help/support.
As CraigMac6 mentioned, you are not alone, most people on here will be able to relate to life-changing for the worse due to gambling, and come to this forum to try and change that.
New member groups take place here on Mondays and Thursdays, I would recommend checking those out as a great starting point where you can receive specific advice on some practical steps you can take.
How have the first few days since posting been going?
