To keep it short. When I was 29 I was diagnosed with terminal cancer. 4 years later I won't my claim against the NHS for clinical negligence. I was awarded 300k. I gave 100k away to friends and family bought myself a nice car had a few nice holidays I was left with around 150k. Somehow got into gambling and apart from 10k iam owed in I have £700 left. Also sold my car 22k so I would say I've spent over 100k on gambling. I'm too ashamed to even admit it to my family and my dad nobody knows. I've hit rock bottom now and I need to stop I just don't know where to start. Iam totally ashamed of myself and I've ruined my own life I know money isn't e eeything but I now have nothing to fall back on iam completely skint. I've blocked my card from bank then my ex bf who.was in control of his gambling mentioned 1 day that you can depo via PayPal balance or trustly. I'm literally leaving myself with nothing to live on for the month after bills. Please. How do I stopÂ
