Hi
Your story sounds very familiar to how my addiction started.
I started off not in debt and thinking I was gambling with money that I could afford to, but now, 5 years later and in lots of debt, I wish I stopped it back then before it escalated to this level.
I'm still only 23 and I am lucky I have a great family and people around me who support me, and I realised I had the problem at a young age.
But closing your online accounts is a great start.
I am going to a GA meeting for the first time on Thursday and I hope it will be a first step in the right direction. You should definitely go to one and see what others have to say, to see if you feel your gambling is a problem.
