I'm pretty much in the same boat as you, minus the falling out with parents etc. Fine at poker but completely ****ed my finances up thanks to ****ing casino games and recently those machines at the betting shops now I've blocked everything but Stars online. Now gone nearly 2 weeks no gamble and looking for it to continue other than strictly sticking to NLHE. Need to get some sort of social life too.
I can relate, I have very little social life, but it has mostly been caused by me being too busy gambling to have time for people. It's not easy and it's something that does get me down but I'm lucky enough to have a gf to keep me busy and I'm hoping the rest will come with time once I've sorted myself out. I know what those machines are like, the problem is you can self exclude from a bookies but just drive to a different one. I would recommend trying GA if you haven't already but the crux of the matter is that you need to want to give up or you won't. I wish you all the best, shoot me a PM if you want to talk further.

Keep it up like that. I cross my fingers for you that your shot at NL100 HU will continue like that. So in no time you will have a healthy BR for them.
Haha, I wouldn't say I'm running insane as I'm below EV in both cash and SNGs (not sure about mtts - 1 decent score but loads of FT bubbles) but it's nice to be playing well and making money. I'm not exclusively playing 100NL, I'm generally sitting 50nl-200nl 100bb and cap tables waiting for action playing fish at all stakes and regs at 100nl and below if I feel up to it (I mostly decline). I like to aggressively shot take as I believe a lot of regs play with a far too conservative bankroll management style. Luckily for me I feel no real added pressure with having a smaller bankroll for the stakes I play as I've been there a million times, it's just about ensuring you know when to move down.
It also looks like I may be moving home as my job is much closer to there. I haven't fully reconciled with my dad yet but my mum is talking about the possibility of me moving back which is good, only issue is I can't freely play poker at home as they see it as the same as all other types of gambling and no amount of explaining will convince them otherwise. I withdrew $627 yesterday which should cover most of my immediate debt payments until I get paid from work and the roll is about $1600 i think (haven't got stars open). Things are starting to piece together, just have to try not to **** up as per usual.
Think we're going to Thorpe Park again today but we may not as the weather is a bloody joke in the UK at the moment. It's been uncomfortable to grind in this heat and I can't imagine anything worse than standing in it all day. GL all.
