I am 19 years old and I ashamed to say I'm an addict. I have been going on machines and casinos for a year and a half, an because o my addictive personality I can't stop. I work in a boring office and there is a betfred bookmakers over the road.(here is my problem) I can't go a day without putting money in a machine. And if I do I always feel like rubbish. I'm in debt but luckily not up to my neck. I'm scared to tell my parents so instead confided in my mates and boss. He was really helpful and my mates bailed me out a couple o times. Bu I need to pay then back now and just keep gambling. They don't hassle me for money but can tell it's affecting our friendship. I've lost my girlfriend so I need my mates more than ever! What can I do?
