Welldone in admitting you have a problem,thats the first step.next comes all the hard work but its achievable one day at a time.you need to tell your partner and your family if you are close to them-you may need their help.As jess said block the sites so even if your tempted you cant gamble online-that was my downfall!!I too maxed out credit cards,had a loan and handed it over to online slots etc.money you will find may seem like the issue now but its actually at the bottom of the pile,many people find that they feel awful for wasting so much money,they think maybe they can win it back,they feel useless and a failure(this was me)we are not,compulsive gambling is an illness and we will find we will be dealing with it for the rest of our lives.it can be managable,with alot of will power and listening to others who are the same as us.use the forum here,use the chatroom and get to a meeting.there is hope and help out there if you really want to stop.x
