I am 47 years old and have been gambling for well over 10 years. So long in fact, I can't remember when I started. I have no children and have been married for 17 years. I haven't gambled since the beginning of November. I quit smoking as well because I couldn't afford to buy a package of cigarettes. I am taking it one day at a time. I have isolated myself and have very few friends. Some of my family is talking to me and some are not. I gambled away money that was not mine to gamble.

I like camping, reading and spending time with family and friends.

I am addicted to gambling, have been for more than 10 years. I used all my savings, retirement money, everything I had. I also gambled away some of my mother's life savings. My family is aware of what I've done, most of it anyway. My husband has not forgiven me but stayed with me. We've been together for 18 years. I can't stand living with this addiction and what it's done to me, my life, my marriage, everything. I have no children. I am hoping to beat this addiction and get my life back.
