Hi All,
I've seen this website but never plucked up the courage to speak openly about my addiction.
I have been gambling continously on and off for probably 30 years and realised today it is time to get help.
After gambling away thousands on Friday which I certainly couldn't afford I felt sick to the pit of my stomach and thought what is the point of living, my family would be better off without me, certainly financially as I have a large death policy.
I hate feeling sorry for myself when others have far more to put up with in their lives than me.
If betting shops had never intoduced roulette machines or the internet online gambling I wouldn't be in this position.
I will be going to my local GA meeting next week and hope they can help me and give me some advice on debt.
Steve.
