Hello my name is joe and im 22 years old, i am currelty working part-time and im also studying at university. I have been gambling since i was 18 years old, calculating a debt to around £5000. I'm finally putting my hands up and admitting to myself that I DO have a problem i cant keep living this. I play roultett in the bookies and also play online slots, i have finanlly today self exluded my self from my local bookies but as i live in london, i am scared it will take me one time to walk past a bookies and pop in side for a quick spin. I have also suspened all my online account but i keep questioning my self, is this enough? I try to keep my self constantly busy so I do not gamble as im sick of not having money its just like a round-about which i cant get off. All it will take for me is one day off where i am bored, therefore i will go to a bookies or visit a online website. I know if i can stop now while im young i will be able to have a more relaxed future. Any help or support would be appreciated as this is the first time i have open up about my problem. 🙂
