thank you for your message, I’m just at the beginning of the battle that now faces me, it’s just frustrating that I’m probably going to lose everything in my life that matters to me the most when it all comes out and I’m now just realizing what a fool I have been letting my gambling get to a point of no return and it’s had to come to that for me to finally try and kick this addiction.
finally managed to get the courage to come clean to my wife about all my gambling and debt which stands at £60000 on credit cards which I managed to do by money transfers and a £15000 loan and £15000 of savings all in under 2 years, makes me so ashamed of how I have let gambling completely take over my life and am adamant I’ll beat this, it certainly seems that it’s not going to be easy financially bankruptcy looking at the only solution left available to me and as for my marriage I can only hope, I certainly feel like I don’t deserve to be supported by my wife with all the pain hurt and stress this will inflict on her, hopefully as time passes my feeling of being a complete failure will subside.
