Hello.. I have made the decision to give up the online slots again. Hopefully with the support on here I may actually be able to succeed. The feeling once you have lost your last amount of money is unbearable and I feel I daren't come clean to family members. I have given up before but as soon as I have had the money to 'spare' I have just opened new accounts. However it isn't that simple anymore - I now have debt thanks to this problem and I am taking steps to regain my freedom. Also I am looking moving in with my partner and In order for us to save for a deposit we need a joint account- I can not link him financially with me as he thinks I stopped this over a year a go. And I have have credit searches from gambling.
I really need help here and do not know where to begin. (Again)

This is just an update on my last post.. It has been over 3 weeks now since I last did anything and although I have been tempted a few times, I decided against it as the guilt afterwards just is not worth it. Plus I do not actually have the money to waste in something so worthless. Feeling much more positive about it and hopefully it will never happen again. After being addicted for 2 years almost.. I finally feel happy again 🙂
Thank you.
That's brilliant news mate and well done for what you've achieve so far 1 day at a time and you'll feel stronger each day and don't let complacency set in like I have many times. Stick with it mate and again well bloody done! !! X
