49 year old with a loving fiance and stepson.they where aware I gambled but told the 3 month ago I had stopped.
nI have gambled all my adult life with some good wins but mostly loses.
nI have a great paying job but while at work I have a lot of down time so I gambled.i hate myself for this and know it’s hurting my relationship aswell.one lie always ends up in another then it just snowballs.
nIf I could get any guidance to put me in the right direction I will grasp it with both hands.
nThanking you in advance.

If you read through the threads in this forum, you will see that there is plenty here to guide you.
n1) Ban yourself from places where you play both on-line and off.
n2) Lose access to money, get your fiance to handle your finances for you (you don’t have to say why you need this right now – but it does help to be honest!)
n3) Lose access to the time to gamble. Find something else, another passion but not one that will cause problems (like alcohol) to spend your time on.
n4) Get good support for yourself. Maybe try counselling if it is available in your country, or zoom meetings for gamblers who wish to stop – https://gamblersinrecovery.com or talk to a medic.
nYou can also visit the groups on this site. There are facilitated groups for new people on Mondays and Thursdays so you know someone else will be there. Times are shown on the yellow tab “support groups.” I wish you well.
