Hi Boo,

You are certainly not alone and you have made a good start by visiting this forum. There are many who are in and who are in the position you are in.

I am a compulsive gambler and I'm just working on my first post after reading through lots of other posts on here, you will get great moral support and will not be judged.

It is not going to be an easy journey and I start my journey today too, so we can ride together if you like! Good luck!

When you're ready, if you'd like to share a bit more about what has brought you to the Forum or if you'd like to talk anything over with one of our advisers, we can look in to your options with you.

In the meantime if you need any help finding your way around the site, please do let us know.

Wishing you all the best,
