Hi Dote,
I can give u advice ,the same as I received for years but really unless u are ready to call stop on this problem it won’t matter .
First thing is how do you gamble ? If it is online invest in a gambling blocker for your computer/ laptop/phone etc. Gamblock and bet filter are two good ones.
Get yourself banned from all places you gamble .
Next ring all your debtors and set up a sensible repayment plan which leaves you enough to live comfortably. You will be amazed how quickly your credit score will rise and also how much money you have for debts when gambling isn’t using most of it .
You could maybe confide in one do your parents and tell them how things got out of hand and ask for their help. They could look after your account until you are ready to do so yourself. They will know something is up already and may be worrying it is drugs so they might be relieved .
Try coming to the groups on here – check times – they are good and most helpful.
There is no easy way out . But when u have a good wage things get better really quickly
Also whe u stop gambling your mind clears (all that counting and adding takes a lot of mind space) and you are able to focus on really dealing with the debt not just the immediate hurdle .
