My name is Mohamed, I am from Egypt. I have recently lost a large amount of money (around £12,500 / 250,000 EGP) due to gambling. This was my life savings.
I am feeling very depressed and overwhelmed. I have no one to talk to about this, and I am struggling to cope with my losses.
I am seeking professional support and guidance on how to stop gambling, manage my emotions, and begin to recover from this situation.
Thank you very much for your understanding and help.

Hi Mohamed
I wouldn't normally reply as I have no knowledge of any support systems in your country but just wanted to say that 42 years ago I spent a month on a school holiday in your amazing country. We spent a week in Cairo, one week in Luxor, trip to Aswan and then back to Cairo. I was lucky enough to see King Tut in his tomb. The trip was ever lasting and fuelled my thirst for knowledge into Egyptian ancient history. You have an amazing country
Good luck on your recovery journey
