Hi my name is Lee. I've recently just gambled all my wages. Again.
Years ago before I met my current girlfriend I had a bit of a bad gambling problem. I managed to restrain it a bit but I've always liked a gamble.
A few month back I gambled my whole wage within about a week and had to come clean to my partner about where all my money went. It killed me having to face the truth and tell her exactly what went on. Because of this I started getting my wage paid into her account so I wouldn't have nothing t gamble again.
Now about 6 month down the line I got my wages back into my account as I thought I would be okay with money again. But withing the first week of getting paid I gambled everything again. I had all are spending money for out holiday and gambled everything. She realised I had no more and quistioned me. I lied to her about having money until I ran out of lies and had to come clean. I hate putting her through this.
I always thi k I can win my money back but it never works. Before I know it I have nothing left and borrowing off people to gamble that to try and win my wages back.
I'm in a dark hole and need some advice on how to stop my addiction?
Where are you gambling mate? Online or shops or both?
