I was addicted to gambling from a very young age. It totally controlled my life and tore me away from normal aspirations and hobbies. My addiction caused me nothing but complete stress and aggravation. Eventually the financial problems and time that I wasted with my addiction problem finally got the better of me. Five years after abusing my addiction, I finally went into rehab. On my reflection, it took me a while to come to terms that I needed aid and I tried so many times to stop gambling and set myself limits that failed every time. I could not stop on my own. My father then talked to me about entering treatment. I knew deep down I needed to go as I could not stop without some aid.
