Hi,

I have been gambling since 2017. Started casually with a friend for fun. Later started going by myself and losing paycheck and paycheck. Stopped for a year after meeting my ex gf. We lived together for a year. No gambling during that period.
Since she left, felt alone and escaped to pokies and star casino. Have no savings and nothing to show. Debts and need to pay some people.
Finally, i need to stop and quit gambling. I want to have a gambling free life.

Hi @Overcomingthis,
Thank you for sharing your story with us. Well done on making the decision and reached out for support.
It sounds like gambling has been your way dealing with the isolation and take a break, but now it's causing you more problem....
What support do you have at the moment? Let us know if there is anything we can help you with.
