This is my first post.im lying next to my husband right now who is blissfully unaware of my gambling problem.over the weekend. I lost my life’s savings in a moment of sheer madness.£12000 has gone on a slot game. I was only chasing £100 to start with. And I’ve ended up completely broke. I can never ever get my money back I know. I’m a 65 year old. Level headed woman.except for this thing that has me in its grip.i have worked my entire life and now have nothing to show for it. I can’t eat. Sleep. Function properly.i think I will have to tell my daughter what I have done. Or I don’t no what I might do to myself. The shame is overwhelming..the shame is the worst thing.ive let everybody I live down.im in a blackness and I can’t get out of it..
