Hi Chris. Firstly – yes you can quit this mess and stop gambling.
You are not alone with this problem. Read the other stories here and you will see a lot that you will relate to. You will aslo read the success stories – what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation?
There are a lot of places to gambel in your city? Well the good news is that probably means that there will be at least one meeting of Gambles Anonymous near you as well. That would be a great place to get support as well as coming here. Here is a link so you can find a meeting.

Talk to your parents. They can help with accountability. If you borrow money ”for the train” then they should expect to see train tickets and a receipt. Of course though if you ask them to help you with accountability properly then you wont be able to gamble and will be able to aford your own train tickets.
Keep reading, keep posting. You can stop gambling, let us know the positive steps that you are going to start taking.
