Welcome, I’m sorry you had the need to find this site but I’m happy you found it!
I think most of us started gambling for a bit of fun.
Unfortunately we have found ourselves in big trouble, like yourself.
So what can you do?
There is no cure for compulsive gambling, but there are things you can do to help yourself and lead a life free of it.
I’m not sure what you bet on…..but excluding yourself from any casinos, phone apps, online gambling can help. If you cant access gambling, you cant gamble.
Same goes for your money. No money = no gambling, so if you can, talk to someone close to you that would be willing to help you with your spending. Taking your access to cash and giving you a small allowance can make life easier to deal with. GA meetings and talking here can help too, the support groups are wonderful and the helpline can give you some very sound advice.
Its not easy by any means. You can do it. Take all the help you can, and as time goes on the gambling urges will lessen, giving you the life you want.
Take care, K xxx
