Hi all,
I just wanted to share a bit of my story........over the last year or so I became depressed and turned to gambling online, I was using nearly all my weekly wage plus more on this leaving myself with nothing!!
My family are all now aware some are being supportive some are not as they don't understand the addiction and how it drags you in.
My partner asked me to move out of his house yesterday so I have come back to my mums this morning. He is finding it really hard to deal with and I could possibly lose him which I am really stuggling to handle right now.
I have lost my job so have no moeny coming in and just feel like I have hit rock bottom, all I know is I will get the help I need and try my hardest to beat this and prove to my family and partner that I am a good person.
Thanks all
Hi Lisa Lisa,
Well done on admitting your problem, huge step to beating this horrible addiction. I was where you are 1 year ago today and I can safely say that if you work hard and believe in yourself, you will do it. Keep ticking those days off and you will feel yourself slowly coming back to life. Use this forum, keep busy and don't have access to money.
I believe in you, you can do this babe! X
Thank you Jasmine, I know its going to be long road but I am positive I can get through it and prove to people I can.
Affected by gambling?
