Today I have hit 125 days gamble free.Â
Something that I should be proud of but I should never have got myself into such a financial mess. It is quite scary how after 20 years of placing football bets every weekend with a £5 max bet playing for fun, that it can literally change to an addiction over night and 10 years of compulsive gambling and 250k losses.Â
Maxed out credit cards, loans, lost redundancy pay and remortgages. As it stands i currently have 45k of debt across 3 loans and 5 credit cards paying £1100 a month. The guilt I have that this money should be put towards a normal life like normal people have is extremely hard to comprehend.Â
Please for all you people that have a problem and are at the start of your journey with minimal debt, please please please STOP NOW before it is too late.Â
For me the desire to place another bet has gone, the debt is the devil. Â
Thank you to all the support I continue to receive. Tazman, weirdfish, Pinklady, G100 and many more of you, you know who you are.Â
