Please make contact with one of the gamcare staff asap, either by phone or online chat the links are at the top of the site. The hard part is admitting the problem so well done, these guys will start the process for you and give you the advice and support you need.
Its not too late for you my friend I beg you to take the next step.

Hi tooyoung18,
Welcome to the Forum!
I am glad that you have decided to join this Forum and post here and I hope that you will find much support on this Forum in your quest to overcome your problem and move forward from the difficulties you experience.
You say that you have lost a lot due to problem gambling. This also means that you have a lot to gain now and there is much support and help available to you in order to achieve that.
You might find it useful to speak with an advisor directly and in confidence. You can do so either on the Netline, which is an online chat
http://secure.gamcare.org.uk/netline/
or on our freephone Helpline 0808 8020133
Both services are open from 8am to midnight every day.
Should you feel really low, you can also contact the Samaritans on 08457 90 90 90. They are very good to talk to when you have suicidal thoughts which make you feel as though there is no way out.
We hope to hear from you, soon.
Kind wishes
Gabriele
