      I am a 28 year old male and this is my story.
      Just over 6 months ago, I was the happiest person in the world. I was engaged to the girl of my dreams, I had saved $60000 from 6 years of full time work. I also had a decent career, my mum was proud of me. Life couldn’t be better, till I stumbled upon an online sporting site.
      I initially won around $40000 in bets and saw my savings hit the triple figures. I was betting everyday, winning some and losing some, till recently I placed a $50,000 bet.
      I lost that bet and wanted to “win” it back, unfortunately with that mentality, my life savings was depleted. I was angry, depressed, I knew for a second that my wedding plans, my honeymoon and house deposit were pushed back. I woke up today with only $200 in my bank account. I told my mother, and she was devastated and in tears. Now, I don’t have the guts to tell my girlfriend what I have done to our wedding money and house deposit, as I am scared that she would leave me.
      I promise myself that I would never gamble ever again. Time will tell what will happen.
      Keep you all updated

      My last Update,
      Well the bad news is, I lost the girl of my dreams and I completely understand why she broke up with me.
      But I have some good news.
      I’ve learnt my lesson and moved on with life.
      Just a positive update
      I still have my job and most importantly, I have not been gambling for 9 months now.
      I’ve put the past behind me, I never thought about what I lost, just only looking forward to the future now.
      I’ve saved up a little cash and decided to put 10% deposit and borrowed 90% from the bank + payed Mortgage Insurance on a little apartment. I think of this as a forced saving rather than gambling it away.
      Thanks everyone for listening to my story, I will continue to fight this gambling addiction.

      Good morning Sookie,
      Well done. sorry to hear about the break up, but that is now part of the past that you need to let go (if only I could follow my own advice).  Keep working at moving forward and adding to your clean time.
      Again well done on reaching the 9 Month milestone.
      God’s speed. Stay strong.LarryThanks to my Higher Power, My 3G's – God, GA, and GT,  "Day Two Is Another Day Behind" and with the help from all I hope to continue to remain gambling free.

      I am not taking any risks, all my salary going to my house.
      Fixed home loan, no extra money to tempt me.
      It is so hard, I’m so close to be 100% over this.
