Welcome to the site.
Before I came to this site, I thought I was quite unique, but I now realise we all do exactly the same things, feel the same way and have to deal with the same consequences. I thought I was reading one of my posts for a split second.
You haven’t stated what type of gambling you do. If it’s online gambling you can download and install blocking software that prevents you from accessing gaming sites. For your information, I downloaded the K9 blocking software which is free. It doesn’t solve the root cause of the problem, but will prevent you doing further damage while you seek real help. Self exclusion is something else you can do, but beware there are 100’s of online gaming sites and you’ll be able to find another if determined enough.
Unfortunately it’s a vicious cycle. Gambling gets us into serious financial problems and to try to get out of these serious financial problems we see gambling as a quick fix.
There are helplines and groups you can use on this site if your gambling urges kick in.
Best of luck, keep posting, it’s helped me so I hope it helps you.
