hello everyone.
I have been gambling for a few years. nothing major until recently. I have blown my 2 grand overdraft on gambling 🙁 i feel sick. I would go on win at first then lose and try and win it back. it's killing me, I have a lovely little family who know nothing about it. I'm only 27 i could lose my fiance if he finds out. my plan is to get my self straight without him knowing. I have signed up to the gam ban website to stop myself. and i want to stick to this but I feel helpless i feel like a failure im so dissapointed in myself. please someone tell me it gets better as time goes on. I woke up this morning after being up until 2am and losing yet again and i feel like a light has come on inside my head. I do not want this life. the amount of time I have lost is ridiculous. I just need advice. words to tell me there is a future without it, that I can get through this.
