Hello,

I am an online gambling (sports) addict but like many others am in a constant state of denial. Therefore, I first burned up all my cash, then borrowed heavily from friends on some pretext and lost that too.

Theres another twist to this---I live in India now and gambled away all the pounds I had earned in the UK. So, now I am overdrawn on my UK account, my credit card is maxed out and I owe lots of people lots of cash. Theres no way in hell I can repay anyone,since I now earn peanuts in rupees so I'm just gonna bum out.

This has not been an easy decision for me. I have suffered for a year now and have lain awake many nights knowing that I have screwed up the beautiful life I was granted. I have betrayed my family, my friends and myself.

I often find myself crying when alone and thinking about what might have been. I guess I wont be crying much longer. Hello....and goodbye

I kinda understand your dilemna. I earned a few hundred thousand a year for a period of two over years and ignorantly didnt know the value of money. Lived life lavishly and spent all my money on material things without bothering to save as I thought my income would last forever. Well, it stopped after two years and I was back as an ordinary manager and earned a normal manager's pay. Since then, I couldn't understand why I continue working. Tasted royal jelly and couldn't find satisfaction in eating sugar anymore. and there was no way I could earn that kind of income again, given circumstances. It's like mariah carey's song title " I had it all but I let it slip away'. Blew it only to realize it when it's all gone. Life's lesson is so painful but we will learn if we can get out alive.

Welcome to the forum

Gambling addiction is not at all easy to overcome, but I am confident that you can do it

Perhaps you should tell the people you owe money (if theyre close, i.e. relatives and friends) about your problem, show them that youre trying to change and maybe they will be lenient with you?

:welcome: to SF. You need to be honest with your friends. They may not react well, but it is the only way to be honest with yourself too.
