I am 6 days clean from compulsive online gambling on slots over the last 2 years. I am committed to never going back to another bet and have already permanently self excluded from online casinos. I am struggling with crippling anxiety and depression as my partner of 3 years and parents don’t know about my gambling and I am terrified about my relationships with them being harmed or my relationship with my partner ending due to my gambling. I love my partner and my parents with all of my heart and I want to marry my partner and start a family with him. I need your support and encouragement as I am feeling the most desperate I have in my entire life and I am scared. I want to know when the clean time in starts to feel good and the feeling of being overwhelmed and not in control with money starts to get better. I need your love and support and I need to turn my life around and keep the relationships with all of the most important people in my life. I have about 30K credit card debt and am now starting to make as much payments to them as I can and just living off enough to pay my rent, bills and groceries.
