Hi step-by-step ?
Did u by any chance replace gaming addiction with gambling addiction? That can happen !
I know how ashamed gambling makes us feel and to be honest I hate being labelled too and there should be no need for labelling people in this century – most educated people and intelligent people now realise that labels are unhelpful, derogatory and limiting . I wouldn’t want to be called a gambler or ex-gambler either .
A massive well done to you for seeking help and support. You will find lots of non – judgmental support on here . If you can put barriers in place like a gambling blocker on your internet devices it will also help if you have a moment of weakness .
You are young – you have your whole life ahead of u . U will recover and never look back !
