Hi guys, first time posting here, I live in London, originally from Ghana, I think I have lost alot since I started gambling back in 2009, no long fairy tale, I am in pain right now considering I am on holiday back home in Ghana,
I went to see some family members yesterday too many of them, they asked for money and I told them that I will be back, so I had some money that I converted to Ghana money and gambled it all and lost them all, now I can’t go back and see them, and no one to help me even back home to London, everyone knows about my gamble problem now, how I wish I end up in prison and never see the sun again. Thanks for reading.

Fellow Ghanaian here. Akwaaba. Don’t be ashamed. I was back home last year and I had no money to give anyone because I’m still paying off my debts and that comes first. I’ve lost some friendships/relationships based on that but if money is the reason, then those relationships weren’t worth it in the first place. Focus on trying to get better. One day at a time.
