Boring title I know but there we are.
So my story is I started gambling in a previous job. A mate of mine used to get tips and often they won so the thrill of winning came quite quick. Then I got another job and thought wow this is easy and kept gambling. the losses started coming and I took a couple of loans out to try and cover these. Ended up in 30k of debt. Had to enter an IVA and get those debts cleared. Managed to limit my gambling to the off footy coupon and stuff.
Fast forward a few years and things are literally rock bottom. I'm hiding the fact my addiction has returned coz my girlfriend has said she would leave me if I was to gamble again and I'm scared to death of losing her. I know people would say well don't gamble but its not as easy. Ive got the gamban on my phone and I'm in the process of going to groups but it just feels like its completely taken my life away from me.
Fingers crossed I can start a new phase and get better
