Hi, I am new to this site…

I am 30 years old and have been a problem gambler most of my adult life. Started off small having fun but very quickly was a problem and has been a problem for over a decade now. I rarely win and constantly punt until it’s all gone. I’ve ruined relationships and have plenty of debt. I work 7 days a week and earn good money and have nothing to show for it. 

I went to GA meetings a few years ago and boy do I wish I kept going and called it a day then. But evidently I wasn’t ready to stop then and a lot more money wasted and pain later I find myself here determined to stop gambling. 

I have good family including a partner, friends, a healthy lifestyle except for the gambling I just do not know why I have continued to be so stupid for so long but the realisation has hit me and I can see a better life if I can just manage to stop gambling. 

I was a big horse and sports betting man. But in honesty I would bet on anything and everything any time of day.

Tomorrow will be 2 weeks without a bet and I hope with some help off this site and talking to some people and reading stories I can tick off each day as it comes gamble free. 

feels good to share and start off somewhere. 

good luck to every person on here!
