Welcome 

I really liked your last post, positive steps.  when I read your introductory post you sounded so stressed and it seemed you were putting way too much pressure on yourself.  You said it, you’re young and have a great partner and family!  Use them if you need to! Gambling is such a secretive addiction, speaking for myself I became a master liar, the more I did it the worse I got.  It is progressive Scotty, so taking these steps now is brilliant! It’s hard to reach out for help and you should be proud of yourself that you have.
My advice would be barriers, get them up, reatrict your access to money, gambling blockers for your phone and computers, tell someone close to you if you need (I know that can be hard) but being accountable is a great barrier too.

well done on looking for help, read and post here, there are some wonderful members, use the helpline and groups, it all adds up.  
Love K xx
