Hi there,
I can see from your username you're a fellow Leicester fan? I'm a similar age to you and have devastated myself recently gambling. Only just got married and have a 2 year old son.
It's a horrible situation to be in but the past is the past and the only way to beat this is to be brutally honest with your problems and not be afraid to seek help. I've thought I'm ok many times before and eventually my guard will be down and the gambling will creep back in. Only will a big loss with no chance of chasing the losses result in a wake up call. Nothing changes.
That's why I vow to make it different this time. I'm never going to think I'm cured or it's fine, always got to work at it and be honest.
Good luck mate
