Hello everyone

I’m new to this forum, I have been gambling for about 13 years now started when I was 20. But this last few years have been bad. I have managed to work my self into 12k of debt and am hiding it from my gf of 7 years. I do not know what to do. I am so tired of lying about this like I dont have a issue and I have no idea on what to do about my debt. I’m afraid of telling my gf since it might make me lose her, I have been caught gambling before by her and she supported me but it has gotten worse and I’m afraid. I really want to stop gambling so that I can actually save some money but a nicer car work towards owning a home and not have to lie anymore. I eat a me up every day all I think about is this stupid debt and how much of a piece of crap I am. But I always want to gamble I love alot machines. I can’t stop.

Hi deathrider
You don’t say where you live but you can get lots of advice on sorting your debt out – you can pay off slowly while still having a good life .
Stopping gambling is hard but it is helpful to self ban from casinos or get blockers for your computer if that is the problem.
You can stop !
Life quickl becomes better once you do !
There are groups on here where you can chat – tonight there is one for new members – that might be a good place to start .

Well done on seeking help !
