Hi, this is my first post, I am a 23 year old student in my last year and have been gambling pretty much since I was 17, gambling got more serious when I was about 19 as I had more money, have had some very bad days with it mainly around just one thing, horse racing, no interest in casino and only other thing I bet on is golf which I can control, I have lost serious amounts at times and recently stayed off it for 6 weeks but then relapsed, 6 weeks was the best I could do in 4 years, only my girlfriend knows how serious the problem is and it is very effecting her as much as me, just looking for help thanks

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

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.

As well as the forums New Members are invited to join Charles in the New Members Practical Advice Group On Mondays at 21:00 (UK) and Thursday at 19:00(UK)
