I just do not know what to do anymore known I have had a problem for months now but I am crying out for help managed to keep my gambling secret from my family but not from my girlfriend she threatened me the last time she would walk out and now I'm as bad and in debt I don't know how to sort this problem, I'm 19 and a full time manager in a fast food store so I earn a good amount for my age should be able to treat my girlfriend who I have been with for three years and known since I was 5 I don't want things to end but I feel like at the end, I just go spend all my money with out thinking then think oh what have I done, this week I was sitting at a nice amount that I would be able to live off pay my debts and have money for my holiday in a month now I have nothing I'm going to lose everything if I haven't already they always win!
You realise you have a problem and thats a great step to make, now you just have to try get help and start proving to your gf that your serious about stoppin, you need to accept that the money you lost has gone, that way you wont go chasing it, be honest with your family and friends and ask them to support you. And try be open and honest woth your gf she will im sure appreciate that even more it may take her alot to get her head round it all and things may not be right straight away but given time im sure they will improve.
All the best
