Here we go again.
Not going to leave a crazy long message. But GamCare has been unbelievably helpful in the past to help me reduce/stop gambling and get on top of my finances so I’m back again. Selling my PlayStation 5 and some of my Christmas gifts as I’m behind on priority bills this month has caused me to seek help again. Won’t go into numbers but £XXXXX amount of debt caused by gambling. Got a Stepchange DMP in place which I’m not currently keeping up with but will chat with them in the new year. So yeah day 1, wish me luck and thanks in advance for any suggestions on what can help me.Â
Acceptance and accountability are the only things that can helpÂ
Â
Theres no magic potion no cheat codeÂ
Â
Recovery is a long hard slog of determination and will powerÂ
Â
But none of that is possible until you actually want to stop gambling , a lot of people rock up here they don't want to stop gambling they just want to stop losing money to get out of a bad situationÂ
I agree with Scambling the comment above the Pain grom gambling has to be so great it makes you want to bring about a change.
Â
Accept you are a compulsive gamblers make sure you all the blocks are in place.
You have to also want to give up you can't change who you are, but you can stop Gambling if you want to.
Overtime when you gamble all the time their are Brain changes.
so in fact the Brain needs that its not the money your after its our Brains wanting that Fix.
Â
Lots of people have had had lots of money yet they still Gamble, all money is means it means you can gamble more, more money you have the more Fixes you can get.
If you abstain from Gambling the Brain will require les and Less Gambling Fixes.
all the best to all that try to NOT gamble
