So hello i'm 18 years old and allready i have done a hude mistake by betting . And in a few days back i've realised that i have lost all my funds in half year. Well it was great like in every story i tried to gamble and it's was easy and looked that i win always with small amounts . But like in every story i was thinking if i win with 10-20 Euros , i can start betting with 300-400 Euros and make my winning amount bigger. Well this didn't lead me to good , start to losing money on Online Poker and online matches football , basketball .
Now i've calculated that i've been gambling for about 3-4 months and what i ve got lost all my funds which i've been saving , started borrowing money from family , friends in big amounts . Now i got big debts i've calculated about 4500 Euros . Friends started when i can give them money back , parents asking do you got any funds in my bank for studies , well i don't tell the truth it's a shame , i'm afraid that i will be rejected by friends. So i have started lie that wait soon i will give money back . But i know that i can't cuz i dont got and don't know where i will get them.
But on the bright side i have started to looking for people who could help me on internet with charities and many more, started speaking with peoples who have same issues , and hoping for the best to find a way give back all debts so i could live a new part of my life .
And i have even started an Campaign on **** hoping a miracle , cuz i dont want to ruin my life with this kind of mistake. Thank you !
You have already done a very brave thing by admitting this problem before it gets out of hand so "well done" to you. Now please contact Gamcare on the freephone number provied and they will guide and help you.. This is a blip in your life only. As the mum of a boy who kept this secret for 3 years I urge you to speak to your parents. Yes they will be dissappointed but they love you and will appreciate you telling the truth. Otherwise you will just tell more lies to cover up the debt and as a parent being lied to is torture. Come clean and get help, you can do this.
At this time i'm searching on internet where could i get support by helping with my debts. Hoping to find it ! And thank you #CW22
