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.

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.
