Hi all,
A quick intro to my story. I am 38 years old. My problem started when i was 17 years old, however the major problems only started last year and came to a head in August. I stopped for a few weeks, 'controlled' it for a few months, however finally lost control again in April. My partner has found out twice and now says she wants me to move out of our house and away from our children because she, and them deserve better. Its hard to disagree with her.
I have, in the past week, started to see a counsellor. I have self excluded myself from betting sites. And i have signed up here, to write my diary, join the 'check in' forum and to see how everyone else copes.
Thanks
J
