Morning all

 

Today is the day I stop gambling, again.

 

This monkey on my back has been the bane of my life for well over a decade.
Recently I have seriously struggled with the basics of just buying food for me and my child.  I have maxed out the borrowing from family.

 

This time something has just clicked and I really hope it’s the start of something good. 

I really don’t know where to start with sorting my finances.  I have debt but my main concern is paying family and friends back first.  

I’m excited for the changes ahead albeit a bit scary, which sounds weird I know.

 

thanks for reading x

You've got this! Firstly welldone for making the change for yourself & your child. Don't beat yourself up too much because the past is gone but today/tomorrow etc are your future. Take small steps & small changes but don't overwhelm yourself because it will get too much resulting in a possible back track. 

SrepChange can help sort through your debts with you & a payment plan with what you can realistically afford to pay back. Goid luck with your new gamble free life & remember YOU'VE GOT THIS XX

@mum-three hi, thanks so much for your reply.  I really do feel like I’m an all or nothing kind of person so I have all these things rushing around my head but I know I can’t get too overwhelmed trying to fix and change everything as it will all come crashing down.  I’m feeling really positive and I’m excited for the changes to form.  I hope you are doing well today x
