[Strambolinski]

Hello to everyone
I’m 21 years old and this will be my first post in the forum. I know a lot of people who will not take me seriously because of my years. Everything begin couple of years ago when I was student in high school, I was 14 years old when I moved to another city to had my education. First 2 years I was doing it well. My grades were excellent and I trained 2 times per day karate, I get injured and I got a lot of free time. I start to organize poker nights on my place and to invite a lot of bad people. I stared to skipping my school and trainings. I doesn’t even realize how I get addicted to it. When I turn 18 I start to play in casino.For one year already I got 6 debs from non-bank companies and everything that I own was in pawn shop. My parents realized that I had a problem.They help me to pay off my debs and to start my recovery.For one short period everything was OK. I went to a college, ii found a girlfriend, but I start to gamble again. I start to sell drugs in the college I took again debs.After some trouble with people on top of me I decided to leave college and the country and to work on ships.I found a job, I really enjoyed on it but like same before I start to play online.This time I got luck, I won huge amount. I went back home I got engaged to my girlfriend I rent apartment for us I found job. Everything was coming to the right place of the puzzle. One night after cllubing on my way to home I saw a casino and I didn’t resist. For 3 months I went to situation that we don’t have money for food.I separate from my girlfriend and I went aging to the ships, I successfully pay out every debt even I put some money on side, but after the end of my contract I gamble everything again. This time I can’t go back home because my father doesn’t want to see me, I don’t have wheare to live, I feel lost, broke and the most important Im loosing my passion for life

Hi Strambolinski – you have been through a lot for someone of only 21.
I don’t know where you are from – but I wonder if you need to be looking for support locally, especially if you are not with your family and have nowhere to live.
It sounds as if gambling has taken a terrible toll on your life and you really need help to stop. Read around the site – there is plenty of practical advice and some of the threads on here I know will speak to you.
It may also be useful to speak to an adviser on the 1-2-1 live support service here, if you have not already done that.
Keep posting and letting us know how you are progressing.
I wish you well.
