Hi Jamesd, First welcome to GT. I gambled away all my retirement money plus any monies I could get hold of. I started my gamble free journey over 2 years ago. I have had a few slips but nothing compared to what brought me here. We all beat ourselves up, but that isn’t helping the problem. You have to move on. You will never recoup your money, May I suggest that you put barriers in place, like a betfilter, giving monies, bank cards, over to someone else, limiting your access to cash, getting support here and GA meetings. GA meetings will help tremendously. Keep yourself busy by doing things around your house, yardwork, and finding new hobbies to do. Stay strong and keep posting.Seize all the good things in life
