I have just read all the messgaes and replies.
For starters, I am 23 years old. I have been through and am still going through the same situation as you are all explaining.
I started gambling when a was around 18. Gambled on mainly just football coupons. It then escalated to horses/dogs/ and the worst being the roulette. I used to get paid on a Friday and was skint by the Friday afternoon.
Couldn't afford to pay bills etc NEVER MIND EAT FOR THE MONTH!
Anyway, I was bailed out several times by my dad. That was the worst thing he could of done. I felt that I could always rely on him.
Now am still gambling but seeking help.
I am more a binge gambler now which some might say is worse.
I have moved place for work and the problems follows me everywhere. I am going to start a new GA meeting this Thursday as I hadn't gambled for months and last night I gambled a lot.
I am just letting you know the feelings and emotions which surround gambling. It is a rollercoaster of emotions that requires stopped.
Thanks,
Marc
