hi everyone, the day finally came for me to look my girlfriend in the eyes and tell her about my addiction. I knew the day was coming as I couldn’t hide the fact where the money had gone, I couldn’t lie any more!
for the last 3 months I had gambled every singled day secretly, living every day with anxiety, depression, sleepless nights, not wanting to face the next day, having to make up lies to people about my money, borrowing from people, to hide it from my partner, lying to my partner about what I’ve earned from work, because I’d already lost it, it wasn’t until my business partner was concerned about the amount of money I was going through and the day came when I had to come clean and own up to my secret life of hell! It’s been heartbreaking this last week. I’ve lost £32k since the beginning of July. I have given all control of money now to my partner, no apply pay, I feel pathetic, that I can’t control my addiction, I have been gambling for 15 years (36 years old now) and I have not gambled for 7 days now, it’s difficult and I’m very bored and I’m hoping to find methods to help me through the journey I have ahead of me.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
