Hello all, 

 

I'm 28 years old and I cannot stop gambling. I had one big losing night in May and lost 12.5k. Instead of accepting my losses I spent the next couple months losing about 1-2.5k a week until it was all gone. I am sick to my stomach. I wanted to quit the whole time, and I had days when I said i was done and I felt good for about 48 hours then it was right back to gambling. I was supposed to go to Thailand and do a backpacking trip for 3 months but all that is canceled. I have some savings but its not much, I can't get out of bed some days, im missing work, im not present when im around my family. I spend alot of nights alone and extremely depressed. I started drinking more and isolating. I feel like I have no control over my mind or body, I cant stop. I have been gambling for a few years but it has never escalated to this point before. I feel physically sick, if anyone has any advise please help. I can't take much more, this is my last resort..
