Well done for looking for looking for help before getting into debt. I was nearly £40K in debt at one point – and not gambling. Debt can stay with you for years.
If you are not handling your own finances then you can’t gamble. As both your Dad and gf know about your problem – could you ask one of them to handle your finances for a while. I know losing control is difficult – but your future is on the line here. Ban yourself from wherever you gamble both on-line and in the real world. Also consider support from GA or specialist counselling from Gamcare or your GP.
See you for day 1!
