Hi John,
that took a lot of courage to put plainly in black and white. We hope the insanity of it staring us back in the face will make us change. But the addiction often barely skips a beat and takes right over again.
A lot of courage is required to protect any remaining funds you have from your gambling self. There are ways for rent to be paid without handling it yourself. Perhaps your father will help with your banking once again.
Is there any counseling support through the university that can help you begin to sort this out? Can you reach out to the help desk here in the day time to see if any support can be given through gambling therapy? Are there any gambler’s anonymous groups near you?
It will take a lot of effort to overcome an addiction like this. You didn’t ask for it. But now you know you are a CG, you can ask for help.
Please do!
Laura
