I was in the same boat about 6 months ago. I would watch my phone all day, betting on sporting events I knew nothing about(just to have a bet out there). It gave me a rush, but my life was crumbling I racked up a lot of debt. It wasn’t the life I wanted but I just couldn’t stop. My first step was to see a therapist to help me understand what triggers led me to gambling and reasons from my childhood among other things started this addiction.For a while it was difficult, I would think about going back to it when I was stressed or depressed. I understand the darkness that gambling can have on you and your relationship. I don’t know if you have access to a therapist but if it is an option for you I definitely recommend it as a good way to start the process of overcoming the addiction. Peace and Love.
