Hi,Â
Ive been addicted to gambling since I can remember but today has been bad. I’m a mum of 2 and I am literally at the end of everything at the minute! And yet for some reason I still can’t stop. I’m in debt and I get paid very little from work so I gamble to try and get some extra money but even when I win £800 it’s not enough and I have to try and get to a £1000 (absolutely phafetic) I know. I just need some help! I feel like the worst mum ever and it’s destroying me. My partner doesn’t understand and just tells me to stop but I can’t how sad is that. I’m completely blocked online but I’ve got sneaky and found other ways around it! I’ve even taken sick at work just to gamble! Please someone help meÂ
