Today I registered with GAMSTOP & if I had known about it earlier I would have done it sooner. Take the decision away from me, I can’t be trusted.

I am basically an a******e with gambling. I have spent thousands over the last few months & been wracked with guilt, always chasing my losses & getting into even more of a mess. My family have suffered. I hate myself so much because of it.

I don’t know how I got into this addictive spiral, but I have so much making up to do. I have a huge mountain to climb. It’s pretty lonely, and I deserve it. If anyone has any pearls of wisdom, please share xxx

Take one day at a time Becky.

You have done the right thing by signing up to Gamstop and realising that you have a gambling problem.

Try and find a new hobby or something to fill in your time when you think about gambling. I started running, joined the gym, played a retro computer game from my childhood youth which helped me. Just the simple things in life also, spending quality time with friends and family.

Good luck on your journey.
