I was doing well, reading the forum posts etc. and not gambling then a couple of days ago I was watch a you tube stream about gambling, and then I started again I was 7k up until today at 6pm. From 8pm till now I have manage to get 3 separate payday loans totalling nearly 3k and I have blown the lot. The reallly sad thing is that I called Gamecare helpline at 7pm. I’m going to look up GA meetings, I don’t know what else to do

At the moment I’m not gambling, but it’s sad that only today I’ve fully realised that I wasn’t just chasing losses and trying too win money to pay my debts, I’m fully addicted, if I win I will put it back in, if I loose I will increase my huge debts. I cannot gamble anymore, end of story
It may be painful but it’s also a significant moment, you’ve realised you’re addicted and you know that means you’re doomed if you continue to gamble. The solution is to stop and try to find the joy in life again whilst slowly rebuilding your finances and regaining your personal integrity.
What’s done is done and what lost is lost.
