I never imagined I would be in this position, but I am and I’ve learnt to accept that’s ok too. I’ve struggled with gambling for years, I’d been betting from around 20-now. I’m 31, I’ve literally gambled every penny I could get my hands on after bills and it led to me debt, a lot of it and turned me into an awful person.
Â
ive been with my partner for a few years, she was aware of my issues a few years ago ago but I wasn’t ready to stop I needed to hit rock bottom and I did.
im currently 18 days gamble free and I feel good, my partner and I keep having regular conversations and she knows the darkest parts of me even though it makes me uncomfortable. It kills me hearing her say some things but yeah, anyway. While I’m not new to gambling I’m new to recovery so any help or tips or anything would be great. This is my last chance at everything before I lose it.
