First time in here and hopefully the first step in regonising I have a problem. I am addicted to gamberling and over the course of time gambled to try and recoup my loss. Gamberling has lead me through a very dark path where I stole from my mum to feed my habit I have reported myself to the police and I do regonise that I need help as gambeling has now took away the one thing important my mum. I have sent excluded myself from online sites and haven't gambeled for one week. I know need support and guidance so that I stay on track and pay of debts and money owed to my mum with out the urge of gambeling again. I am ashamed of what I have become but I do regonise I have a problem though this should not offer any excuse for the behaviour shown to mum

Im goin on holiday in 2days so blocked myself from the sites i use and applied to gamstop so that 3 weeks away from casinos and online gambling may help me start and realise what the hell im doing
