Hi Jake
I would suggest that you get yourself to a GA meeting ASAP. At your age you have your whole like ahead of you so although things may seem pretty bad right now, you will be able to sort things out with the support of other ex gamblers that trully understand.
Be careful with your triggers like alcohol, but also remember that its a progressive illness, IE, you pick up where you left off because we are always chasing a bigger buzz/our losses. Also remember that most compulsive gamblers are not able to stop long term on their own, you need peoplw who have been through it and understand this illness.
Try not to be to harsh on yourslf but take positive action.
