      I started playing a few months ago and since then I’ve spent tons of money that I miss and were useful for other things. The issue of being unemployed greatly influenced this whole addiction and what bothers me is not being able to control when the urge returns. I haven’t played for two months now and yet I feel like it and there’s a new website with offers. The biggest problem in all of this and what makes me sad and angry the most, is disappointing my parents who do everything for me and especially my mother because it kills me inside to know that I make her suffer, but the truth is that it is involuntary because I try to control everything and it is an uncontrollable desire.
      I need help and I want help because this is not what I want for myself

      Hello and thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy forums

      Here at Gambling Therapy we pride ourselves on being a caring and diverse online community who can help and support you with the difficulties you’re currently facing. We understand that this might be a tough time for you, particularly if you’re new to recovery, so come here as often as you need to and participate in the forums, access online groups and connect to the live advice helpline if you need one to one support. We’re in this together!

      Here on the forum you can share your experiences in a safe, supportive and accepting environment. The beauty of writing it all down is that you can take your time and you will be creating a record of your progress that you can look back on if it ever feels like you’re not moving forward. So, share as much or as little as you like but do try to stick to keeping just one thread in this forum so people know where to find you if they want to be updated on your progress or share something with you.

      And on that note….

      I’m going to hand you over to our community because I’m sure they will have some words of wisdom for you 🙂
      Take care
      The Gambling Therapy Team
