So me and my fiance broke up today due to all of my gambling problems that I have had over the last 6 years this one is/was the final nail in the coffin. 
no matter what I try and say or do the words , it’s all my own fault she thinks that I was taking her as a mug but i truly wasn’t this is a nasty problem to have and can will and does destroy families. 
because of this problem I have lost the woman I love in this world who blessed me with a daughter and she says she hates me and can’t stand to be touched by me. The more I try to explain and show her that I’m done with it she does not want to know I feel lost and alone and I’m in so much pain all because of what I have caused

First thing first mate get as much support as u can get yourself in Ga, once u been through a few sessions the good thing about Ga she can witness other people in the same boat and some of the members have managed years without a bet, the addiction is tough in itself and as humans we all have a breaking point, if u show committment and determination to seek help the better it will be yes the addiction takes over but their are things we can do to improve the situation get all blocks done transfer finances etc this will show committment

Hi there. First thing now is complete surrender of yourself to all the best help you can get and I mean total commitment 

Once you have worked on yourself only then can you begin the healing process loved ones and family we are with you all the way   Best

Thank you I am throwing myself into this as I don’t wanna do it anymore. I have all the blocks in place and I’m never touching the gambling again that’s for sure. 
people I thought I could turn to are just having a go at me and not listening apart from 2 that’s a good mate and my ex she still listens talking on here helps as people understand and don’t judge me. 
I wanna feel good again and hopefully in the future be with her again. 

thank you for the support everyone

Morning,

It takes time to heal yourself and for your family.

People find it hard understanding addiction and can be very naive. Due to them seeing it from their point of view but they don’t have an addiction, so cannot compute your actions.

They have the right to feel this way. This is where you need to take control and look after yourself by using groups/chats like this.

You might never get the response you want from Family and friends. When you do keep them close, but you need to keep going and build your strength either way.

Please don't feel like you deserve people having a go - this is an illness.  I lost pretty much everything last year (2023).  Needed to end the gambling so told partner about the finances and he couldn't deal with it.  I moved out with daughter and have not returned.  I intend to tell him I want the house to be sold as I am now in a position where I am happier than I was and want to move on and if that is without him them so be it.  Just believe that things will get better and you deserve to be treated with dignity not shouted at by everbody!

Thank you I’m talking on here trying to make sense of everything, one minute I’m ok and then the next I just break down again, then I read what people are saying hee and it gives me hope and comfort knowing I can and will change and knowing that people here are listening without no judgement is a big help. 
family is everything to me and I know only in time I can get it back but I don’t think I ever will
