Admitted to myself at long last. I'm out if control and pushing the boundaries beyond what is acceptable behaviour with my partner and unforgivable. Causing more problems as been using money that's not mine to. Gamble. Yes it sounds dam right blatant I don't give a toss behaviour! But I do!! and can't understand how I've allowed my morals to slip and cease to apply anymore. I have become totally numb mentally to the consequences of the need to gamble with when realistically I know the real situation and where I'm heading. And I'm scared and it really does feel hopeless
Welcome, my advise.....come clean before you’re found out. I have gambled for years and despite many a time wanting to say something I didn’t. I’ve hid from the world my addiction and over the last two days my world has crashed down upon me. The one thing my family has said is....you should have told us. It’s them finding out that has hurt the most. Good luck x

Gambling has created unsettlement in your life and I can hear that you are worried and stressed. Opening up to your family could be a good thing as they might be able to support you. Moreover, it could motivate you to start dealing with the issue. Have you taken any preventive measures such as self exclusion etc. It might be useful to contact the National Gambling Helpline and discuss your options with an advisor. Freephone 0808 8020 133,and Netline https://www.gamcare.org.uk/frontline-services/netline. The service is open 8am to midnight, seven days a week.
Kind regards
