Hello I'm not actually new here but this is my second account as I thought I could go cold turkey which I did last year got In control and now back to my gambling ways
Im 25 years old and started gambling properly at the age of 19
I started a new job which allowed me to drive and completed jobs in a large radius... this now lets me go in betting shops aka bookies which I wasn't self excluded from
Recently I been getting worse and starting back on the dredded payday loans which are now starting to hurt end of the month wages I'm not going to lie in not as bad as I used to be as I have started a standing order with my partners account meaning when I get paid £800 will be going in her account immediately but then the other chunk of wages are going back into bookies
I'm self excluded from over 10+ online casinos.. but it is always back to the the FOBTS in the bookies where it started this horrible addiction.. like I said I'm not bad as I was but the thought of having no money for another 3weeks feels S**t.. And I'm unable to tell partner as she would leave me for lying to her meaning my gamling will get worse
I'm going start a diary on the other page explaining..on what I want to do and achieve also be truthful if I fail.. I won't start intill end of July as I have no money left
But like I said I'm going to start a diary if anyone is interested in joining me please let me know
All the best people
I know the feeling..it sucks
the horrible thing is tho we get over it and do exactly the same then just repeat over and over till we win again then the whole process starts again
I'm gunna grow a set of balls tomorrow and call up the self exclusion number and try and ban myself from bookies I know I can visit they need to set real limits in bookies not just one machine as you can just hop over to another
But yeah July payday will be when the hard part starts.. as will be a good wage I'm gunna hand over my finances only keep minimal cash on me.. card will be left either at home or with partner
