I am a 21 year old university student and have been gambling for over 5 years. When I’m awake at night putting my allowances all on one horse when I should be finishing off my university work. I know something is wrong but I can’t seem to stop, I’ve tried talking to people and using helplines but it just isn’t seeming to work.Â
It has began to slowly ruin my life. I can’t seem to walk out the door in the morning without having anxiety levels greater than the day before. I have been trying to quit and with signs of progress then relapse again. Anything I can try and do as I do really want to stop.

Welcome Mr Bean
It is good to have you here in our Forum where you will find others sharing their experience, strength and hope. Â
Problem Gambling is cunning, powerful and baffling and without help it is too much. However, you can get through this and move forward in your life.
Along with our Forum we have Advisers available 24/7 to help you; You can contact an Adviser by calling our Helpline on 0808 8020 133 or using our LiveChat, WhatsApp or Facebook options. I encourage you to make contact so we can discuss the best way forward for you.
Please know that you are no longer alone....

try a physical GA meeting if you can.
Its a cycle you're in, so try different things to stop. The main thing is that you are trying to stop by posting here.
Keep coming backÂ
