Hi, I’m male 25 from Ukraine currently living in the UK. There’s no other country I’d be so grateful to for the people I meet everyday and the opportunities this country gives to me. My dad is on the war in Ukraine which brings me a lot of stress as I’m very close to him mentally. I’ve been playing live casino for weeks, then stopped, then been playing more and more like a roller coaster with money won and lost. I have a business and 7-10 people working with me which brings me like £5000/month but I’m absolutely out of self control and I’ve been thinking I can loose that all any minute. I’m currently minus ~£1600 and have self excluded myself from everywhere I could play but I so much need to speak to someone or someone’s support as I have nobody I can talk this to. Moreover, I’m about to make a proposal to my girlfriend as we’ve been together for a few years and I love her so much but I don’t want to hurt her. Please can you give some advice. ThanksÂ
Be honest with her from the start mate. If she really cares for you she will
support you. I had the same feelings before telling my other half and it was the best thing i could have done. You will
be no longer alone in dealing with this and the person you love most will be there for you but the best part of it all is that you arent carrying around this heavy secret for any longer.
If you are in debt, speak to StepChange, they are a charity funded by the government and can manage your debt with you additional charges and arrange payment plans with each company.
Good luck and keep me updated.Â
