Hi all. First post on here and am trying something new to hopefully once and for all put this horrible problem to bed. I have been gambling on and off since I was 18 and am now 27. I have always betted on football and never really completely lost it on this alone. However, my downfall and has been every year is online slots. I have won thousands, then lost it, then lost thousands of my own money time and time again. Once I hit rock bottom I have regained control and can stop for many months. But I am stuck in this cycle I eventually go back when I feel financially comfortable again and end up winning a few hundred or thousands again. But ultimately I want to keep winning and end up losing it all and a lot more every single time. I know after every time it happens I say I will never let it happen again but it does. I have singed up to Gamstop but my latest downfall was being able to put my own card details on another account and it let me play and withdraw winnings but after getting greedy and losing thousands I have now closed the account. I want to stop and stop this feeling. I cannot live with the guilt and they constant lying or hiding what I have done time and time again. The amount of money I could have saved over the years and done the things I want to do is what is killing me and I am worried this will catch up with me and everything will come out and I will lose those closest to me. I just want to hear some advice on how I can finally stop and not have this uncontrollable addiction when it comes to slots and not ever be in this situation again. It has to be the last time, I could not cope with it again. I am 2 days after my latest downfall, and really hitting me hard what I have done especially having turned a corner and had decent savings which are now gone. In a real mess tbh and worried what the future holds. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
