I'm in the midst of a monumental relapse and i don't know where else to turn.  Divorce was finalised a couple of months ago and I've been gambling sporadically ever since. This past fortnight I've gambled just about every day. I can't afford it, I have no readily accessible cash but I'm selling things, skipping bills, borrowing and every time I get a few quid in my pocket it's straight in a fruit machine or FoBT terminal. I keep starting a journal, diary or whatever with the "just today, I won't gamble" mantra but I can't stop. I'm miserable, chronically so, and don't know what to do. I cry every night, then gamble every day.Â
Last year and this year I went through Beacon counselling who were excellent, but it just didn't stick. I have had months and months gamble free with plenty of spare cash to pay down my bills and treat the kids. All out the windowÂ
