Hello, Yes, you are new to this and you have admitted you have a serious problem that is affecting all aspects of your life. I identified with several pieces of your story. I also started out as you did and at your age but unfortunately went on to gamble for most of my adult life. I tried many different things to quit gambling but nothing ever worked for long. I eventually got to a GA program and gave it my best shot - 10 years on I live a beautiful, fruitfull life a day at a time through the GA program. It is not an easy fix and you will need to work hard - what you put in you get out! Give it a go you have nothing to lose and the good thing is the program is free, anonymous as you will only give your first name and no one will force you to come back if you are not ready.
