Hi it's my first time here or even admitting that something is wrong.
I've realised I've lost everything, my friends my family , even my relationship. I have 1 child and 1 that's on its way in September.
I have lost everything. I don't see my kid anymore because of the lies due to me hiding my gambling.
Enough about that.
I've been gambling now for about 10 years, it started off with little football accas at the weekend, then midweek as well. That's until when I turned 18 I got a job at a bookmakers. Worse mistake of my life. I had so many tips so man winners over a short space of time. I was winning more in a week than working there full time 50+hours
Then things took a turn I started betting bigger amounts, every day, getting to the point I'd put £1000 on a race.
I ended up losing my job due to me stealing and placing bets whilst I was at work with the company (that's a big no no)
Im now 26 I've gambled everyday, all day in fact I just can't stop, I walk past a bookies and have to go place a bet, I feel the need to gamble online whilst I'm sitting in the bookies placing bets.
Sometimes losing everything in seconds.
I'm now unemployed and am on the verge of losing my house. But still can't stop placing bets.
Any help or advice would be Gratefully appreciated
Hi wonga get to a GA meeting asap. If you really want help it's there. No excuses go. Call gamcare and talk. Addiction won't want you to do these things, it's tough and you have to make that choice.
