Hi Giorgio and welcome to the forum.

I don’t have to tell you that this addiction robs us of more than our money. It takes our honesty, good moral character, good relationships, interest in anything else, and not just our money.

You are so young to be dealing with this addiction but it is good that you are seeking help now. Before you gamble a lot of your families money. We find ways to beg and borrow and connive.

I know you are feeling shame and guilt and embarrassment. But you did not ask for this addiction. You didn’t say ” I want to wake up one day and be a gambling addict”. Sometimes it can be a hard thing for family to understand. But having the help of your loved ones can be a major turning point. It’s like we can’t trust our own selves. So while we get help to deal with our addiction it is good for those we love to be protected from us, and, they can help you protect yourself by not just giving you money any time you ask. Think about it. Mom Dad, I have a problem. A bit of fun has turned into an addiction and I want to deal with it now before I do something else i regret.

Is there any counseling or support through your school? Maybe look into some professional support.

Deep breath Giorgio! Keep reading and posting. How r you doing today?
