Well where do I start been gambling on online slots now for about 2 years when I first started only wanted to put 50 pounds in but before you know it was 3 thousand pounds down in one night I put a stop to the sites I was using and I remember crying the next day biggest mistake of my life gambling anyone reading this don't do it save your money.
Anyway then I created another account with someone else and lost another thousand pounds I stopped and I thought I beat it but about a year later addiction came back and I lost another thousand pounds that was start of 2021 stayed off it again until about September and now I've lost everything just before Christmas let my family down my dad just bought me a car a couple of months ago and my dad as always stood by me I'm supposed to be saving for a mortgage honestly just feel like ending my life feels like the only way to make it stop I just wish some things were different I don't have many friends I've never even been on a date just fell like if I had those things maybe wouldn't have happened.
But I've done it and I have to live with it I'll keep you updated how I get on I can honestly say that I've learned and it needs to stop.

Hey,
I wanted to wish you the best of luck.
My best advice to you is to come clean to absolutely everyone important to you in your life. It seems to have made the difference for me. It would be great to crack the addiction privately so you can get back on your feet without anyone knowing what you went through but I just can’t see that ever happening.
Best of luck
Hey
Thanks for the advice yes I have come clean I thought about keeping it bottled up but would have made me feel worse in for a rough couple of weeks until I get paid again I will beat this thankyou
