I am an out of control gambler, nobody has a clue about my addiction whatsoever and I’ve gamble in secret for years. The shame and pain of letting my family down constantly behind closed their backs is really taking its toll.

I don’t enjoy life anymore (I’m not suicidal) there is nothing that brings me any happiness.

I need to kick this habit before it swallows me whole and I can’t return from the abyss.

Hello and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

We’re in this together!

Here on the forum you can share your experiences in a safe, supportive and accepting environment. The beauty of writing it all down is that you can take your time and you will be creating a record of your progress that you can look back on if it ever feels like you’re not moving forward. So, share as much or as little as you like but do try to stick to keeping just one thread in this forum so people know where to find you if they want to be updated on your progress or share something with you.

As well as the forums New Members are invited to join Charles in the New Members Practical Advice Group On Mondays at 21:00 (UK) and Thursday at 19:00(UK)

And on that note….

Hi
This my first time actually commenting on anything
But I am also in the same situation
I am so ashamed of my addiction
And is all I think about, I am a completely different person
No interest in anything or myself
Just my next win on the slots
How I wish I had never started

You’re not alone Tom17. I’m equally fighting the shame that comes with this addiction. Please know that gambling doesn’t define your character. We are not these people that gambling has turned us into. We need to fight this addiction for our wellbeing and for our loved ones.
