Hi , I’m 40 years old and have been gambling for over 10 years, i have borrowed thousands to gamble online and can’t seem to stop i have let many family members down by borrowing money from them and not telling them the real reason for the money. I keep promising my partner i will stop but she is at the end of her tether with me now. I have just applied for a DPP through stepchange to get my debt sorted out that has mainly been built up by my gambling. My big fear is i continue to gamble and end up in futther financial trouble, i also suffer from depression and have thought about suicide on several occasions to end my suffering. I have lost all interest in the things i used to love doing because i’d rather spend time playing slots and losing a fortune in the process. Any help advice on how to put me on the right track would be greatly apprecited.

Hi Rosco2505, Welcome! Parts of your introduction mirror my life: letting people down, uncontrollable debt, losing interest in things I used to like to do, depression. I have engaged in GA, individual counseling (for gambling and bouts of depression). I found this site and it has been a tremendous help. Keep journaling your thoughts. It helps to go back and re-read them. The support and advice here is very helpful. There are groups that you participate in. Just check the times on Support Groups. Stay strong.
