Hi Jay and welcome.
I hope you are reading the other stories here. You will already have read some fo the things that will ehlp.
Things like putting barriers in place. If you gambel online then you can get a blocker for your PC, exclude from sites. if you gamble in bookies or casinos then again you can self exclude.
How do you fund your gambling? Who could look after your money and credit cards etc so that you can’t access it to gamble with?
Who can you talk to at that university? The student services there are bound to have a mentoring service and/or be able to recommend local support.
The most important thing you need to do is to use support. Keep posting here, talk to the Uni, maybe check out your local GA meeting.
Keep posting and let us know what positive steps you are taking.
