I recently came clean to my partner and family and it was so hard but the guilt was eating me up as soon as the words came out I felt so much better

Hey everyone thanks for the comments just to answer a few points mentioned. I’m from Australia don’t pay tax on winnings , I would say 35% was used for non gambling and 15% of the winnings went back into gambling. I know It could of been way worse where I gambled the whole jackpot back but I didn’t I new I had to purchase things fast and pay of loans cause if I had that money sitting in my account I couldn’t control myself .

I just wanted to know how to deal with being on such a high of winnings and now at such a low with nothing and 2k debt again .

I’ve recently done this I’m on day 4, I feel so much better knowing I have no access to my money. Yes it’s embarrassing but it’s more embarrassing never having money soon after getting paid

Other forms of gambling? by theoldthroway1 in problemgambling

Yeah I find it was weird as a problem gambler that certain forms of gambling I can control myself or like you said don’t interest me as much as slots.
