Since I joined the military at 16 I’ve been through a horrible addiction to alcohol for 3 years I was drinking every day when I woke up and throughout the night i eventually got over that then one of my mates at work introduced me to online gambling. Everyone in the military does it so I use that to tell my self that it’s okay but the true truth is I’m 20 and I’m at least £15000 pounds lost into gambling and I’m in debt because I ignore my bills and the loan that I took out during my alcohol addiction. I can not escape the world of gambling because it surrounds me 24/7 because everyone does it. I’m really struggling and don’t know what to do.
