Today I am 13 days gamble free.Â
I am taking it one day at a time. It is a battle but a battle I must win this time. No more excuses and crazy amounts of money being lost.
It is crazy to think that I would begrudge myself buying a pair of jeans at £50 but would happily lose 5k on gambling a day.Â
I have 50k of loans and credit card debt to pay, each day is a day closer to being debt fee from this addiction.Â
Thank you to everyone that supports me on here.Â
Glad your getting the help, it was the same with me, would spend thousands on sites but would not buy myself anything.Â
Well done, you should maybe buy yourself those pair of jeans or anything as a little reward, don't be too hard on yourself and punish yourself. As a gambler I am usually always skint and never put my hand in my pocket when going out and expect others to pay, its a horrible feeling knowing I choose to lose money rather than buy myself something that I would like or not offering any money when out for meals and my partner or family usually pays. Now I haven't been gambling I have money and I am not going to waste it and use it to treat myself and partner whilst also clearing off debt. Sick of all the years wasted to this addiction it's time to get better, Good luck.
