Hi Menez,
welcome to the Forum. You say that your family already knows. One of the things that helped me in the beginning was not handling any large amount of money. I had to provide receipts for anything i purchased (small items or even a few groceries). Can you ask someone to take responsibility for your money? So you do not have access to it for gambling? Have you looked into attending some sort of counseling? Quite often regrets and past events or traumas can contribute to our desire to escape into gambling. Can you put software blocker on your phone and computer so that you can’t place bets? These are some ideas you can think of. If what you try at first doesn’t succeed, then try and build barriers higher. Work on your happiness as well. Also, watching sports is probably a big trigger right now. You may have to give that up for a while and try and find other hobbies. You can do this. And your life will be so much better for it. Take care and welcome to the forum.
