uncertainty

Hi All

I am new to this forum, although I have to admit I have read many of the posts over the last few months. If only I had a brain and had heeded the warnings..

I have been gambling since I was 16 on and off, now 10 years later I find myself totally and utterly screwed.

I lost my job last year and had a few biggish wins on online slots. I got hooked, and although I knew I was being a fool, I just could not stop. I just kept depositing over and over again until there was nothing left. No credit, no money.. But :S

Now, as I said, I am screwed. I am not sure what will happen to me, and there are potentially some things I cannot mention on here, but for some reason I just always thought I could win it back and fix everything stupid I had gotton myself into.

I have an amazing gf, and family but cannot tell them, I just cannot bring myself to it. I have no funds to pay back the things I now owe, and I suspect I am headed in a direction that will strip me of everyone I have around me.

I am slipping into a real depression and cannot see a way out.

Literally the only positive I have is that I now despise slots, I have not played for over a month, I stopped myself, but it was already too late.

I am not even sure why I am posting as there is no advice that can help me. I have 0 credit, no chance of loans etc, family and partner are broke.

I feel such an idiot.. I am about 5k in the cr** and I know compared to some on here its not that much, but for someone with no means of getting it back its destroyed me.

Anybody out there who reads this. Stop playing. It will ruin everything
