I have gambled for the past 8 years and desperately need to stop. I am a 32 year old woman who works 2 jobs and has for the past 5 years. I wanted to save money to clear some debt and have a nice savings account to buy a house. Instead I have worked 55 hours per week all these years only to accrue more debt and keep trying to pay it off. Spinning my wheels. The financial losses haunt me daily. I think I am trapped in these thoughts, and honestly believe the obsessive worrying about money and what could have or should have been keep me addicted. I have told my partner and she is trying to stand by me. She does not totally understand it, but is trying to be supportive. I am afraid she will leave me if I don’t stop for good because she wants to have a nice life. I am ruining this prospect for the both of us as nether one of us have any money saved right now. I just continue to struggle with the losses, and keep feeling hopeless. I know people say you cannot look back, and can only change what you do in the present. I want to know how to stop fixating on past mistakes and what might have been if I had never turned to gambling to feel better. Any suggestions? Thanks.It’s a great life if you don’t weaken.
