Today is day one proper. Just listened to a podcast and it made me realise how much of a mess my life is. It’s all because of my gambling. I don’t look after my physical or mental health. I walk round looking a mess. I don’t buy treats for my kids or take them on days out. This is because I blow my wages as soon as I get them. I’d be homeless and jobless if I wasn’t living with my parents. I realise they won’t be around forever. I need to sort myself out. I just hope I can.

Welcome to Talking Sober 
Sounds like you know you have a problem and you want to find freedom. That’s a good place to start.
Recovery from addiction - including gambling addiction - involves learning from people who have walked the path before you. For gamblers you can find those people here. There are meetings in the US, virtual meetings, as well as meetings in countries around the world:

Don’t give up. It is possible if you reach out, stay humble, and stick with it.
