im 24 from northern ireland and pretty much in the same boat. i gambled fruit machine when i was in primary school and now seem 2 throw every penny i have into machines. i'm constantly broke, constantly in debt and constantly lying. i haven't told any1 i know that i have a problem because i'm paying off student debt i always have an excuse where my money went.
In the past year i've started hitting the horses more n more cos as u say, 1 win is a big pay out. i've even started betting on the dogs. i've always been told over the years real addicts bet on the dogs. never consided being that person but as i'm on this site ive become that person.
i hope you get ur addiction sorted as i'm only tryin 2 find help now and i've finished uni for 3 years and have only got in more debt. gd luck
