Hi my name is Jamie. I'm a 29 year old male who has stolen money from my parents to gamble. Have lied and cheated various people to play blackjack and poker. Not lost alot compared to other people but could be there soon.

Hey,
As i have been informed by my husband, the amount is not the important bit and seeking help is the most important. Looks like you've taken the right step coming on here. Do you have plans of what you would like to do next? Are you ready to stop gambling?
Things must have been difficult to do the things you have done however you have plenty of time to make amends. I am a similar age and I am at the start of my journey without gambling however I believe things do change quickly. Stay strong and try to use your past mistakes as your motivation to do better for yourself first and the people close to you and you’ll get the rewards you need to continue on a more straight forward journey.
