Hi, I have just joined and have been gambling for over 10 years, during covid my gambling got to a new level, I won a lot of money on roulette and within a few weeks lost all of it and my savings, I told my family and they helped me financially.
Recently the same thing has happened again, I have won and lost this morning, I finally stopped myself before I lost it all, but I am itching to chase my losses, I should be happy I still have money and not touched my own savings or working money. But in my head I should have more. I just needed to let it out
I want to tell my wife but I am scared how she will react after the last time, she don’t deserve it
