Hello to all just like to share my addiction

im 35 and been gambling from age of 18

gambling has been in my life but iv never lost more money then I could afford until last September

I signed up to online gambling as it's Easyer then going to a casino

it all started when I had a big win of £1400

from then on I was on the sites every day after work

I had no time for my family as I couldn't wait till they went to bed so I could relax on the sofa and started to play slots and roulette online

I lost £3000 in a few months using my banks overdraft

At this point I didn't know what to do so I confess to my wife knowing id might lose her.

she was devistated in what I did and it took her a few weeks for her to forgive me if I'd stop and get help so I promised her I would

but I lied to her and carried on as I took out a loan of 3k paid of my bank then

I started the same thing over and over

not going to get into more details as I could be here forever typing but now I'm in debt for £15000

and my wife has kicked me out

don t want to lose her but I do want my life back

before this demon inside me ruined my life

don't no why I did it and why I kepted on lying to my wife knowing that I could lose her but I carried on gambling

anyone experience the same kind of thing if so

have u got ur life back

or do u still gamble

thanks
