admitting i had a problem

hi

I'm 27 and I have been gambling for about 6 years. I realise I had a massive problem when I getting a lot of letters a week from my bank.

I started of small bets on blackjack and it turned into big bets very quickly and I started wasting full wages within 2 days on casino gambling. I never thought my gambling would effect my parent r family but it did. as more trouble I got with money it cause me to to feel sad and depression. I use to be a happy out goin person,

I feel like my gambling has effected me massively as I always think about money and if I can pay my bills on time and if my parent would find out about my money problems.

but about two months ago I made the step forward and opened myself up and showed the mess I was to my sister. this was the hardest thing admitting there was a problem, her and boyfriend then took charge of my banking and made a bills plan. this has helped with the money problem.

then my sister descide it was time to tell my girlfriend. and she was more than happy to finally to be told. as she's know but I wouldn't ask for help r support.

I'm hoping I'm on right path I just need people to speak to about the problems I when through
