Hi Everyone
Last month I finally admitted to having a gambling addiction after wasting my wages once again. after getting everything out in the open with my family I thought I could finally take control. But yet again i couldn't, I ended up spending my wages over the last 24 hours and I'm back to square one. My family have been supporting me through everything and i can't help but let them down. I feel so alone at them moment because although I'm being supported and helped, no one actually knows what it's like having this addiction and how hard it gets. My problem has been ongoing for over 2 years now. It took me a lot of time and courage to finally admit to my family what I am. I feel like that if it doesn't stop now I will lose the people who care about me.
So from today onwards, It's a new start for me. Taking it slowly, step by step and regaing control of my life. I feel joining here is the first big step for me.
Thanks for listening
