My name is Matt and I've been addicted to gambling for two years. It started with free play but I started with money about 1 year ago. I have come to the realisation that I have a problem and I have told my family now. I got fed up of the lies and deceit. I need help!!!
Hello Matt, well coming on here is a massive step in the right direction. Also telling your family is a good move. Since I posted my first message 2 weeks ago I have had the longest spell without gambling (5days) in as long as I can remember!
I also have my first counselling session booked in for next week.
I wish you the best of luck
You have come to the right place Matt, maybe start a recovery diary and share your experience with others who will just be like you on here.
