begging for help

Hi GGGG

The help is all around you and its really a question of when you are ready to reach out and take the right action.

Youve been on before and until you properly block and tell people close you will continue to relapse.

You are in the grip of a heavy addiction. What can I say to you to get you to a born again moment? Theres no sign on those machines saying free money and an income here. You cant do that to your mum as well because she is been taken on the dark ride

Start the recovery process. I was angry and confused but after crying for three days I became determined to end it and I went round and self excluded. I then told my parents everything. I made sure no money came from them and everything was monitored.

I considered living on an allowance but found the blocks were working and I wouldnt break them. In the earlier days my parents stood in the bank with me watching cash paid in then bills were payed by bill transfer on the servicetill and the proof handed to them.

All gambling does is bring misery so please act. Give gamcare a ring and prepare yourself to take blocking action as soon as posssible.

Its not really begging for help you need to be doing. Its finally realising the addiction has made you ill , accepting the advice with good grace and not letting your gambling mind bring up the excuses.

Thats all I did for forty years and then 10 months on this forum was make excuses I didnt even really know I was making. When it clicked it was like a lightbulb coming on to a dark depressed world. I cant believe I didnt act before and its the best thing I ever did.

The addiction catches you in a trap. Break out with the right help

Best wishes from everyone on the forum
