Hi, I’m today 28 years old and gambling been controlling my life for 8 years.
Been gambling and gaming loosing x amounts of money every month for past 8 years but this last year was most destructive form me ,got multiple loans and credit cards with high interest,still manage to not to miss payments but every month losing more and more that might me not the case anymore,I am in so much pain from that have so much hate for my self , feeling completely lost and week ,today on my birthday spend on my knees in tears couse of my actions.i been delaying getting help day after day and situation got worse and worse.
I have people I love which ones are not affected by my gambling but I feel like a 1 year or so and that will be the case ,and that it’s my biggest fear .
i want to change, i want to get stronger but i always slip in to being lazy and trying to get money easy way and in the end just getting my self hurt and this cycle been going on for 8 years ,I can’t live like this anymore I beg for help and I wish for everyone else who’s struggling with the same situation just get that strength we need to to put the end of it to this madness
