Hi pol2013
Welcome back please do continue to read and post on the forum you will find a very supportive community of people here who understand your struggle with gambling.
I would also encourage you to call our helpline and talk things through with a GamCare adviser on 0808 8020 133 or on our netline. The advisers can provide emotional support and helpful information as well as facilitate a referral to free one to one counselling appointments if you’d like to access that service.
Best wishes
Rachel.
You currently have two options infront of you, option 1 is to try chase the 20k feeling and win the 15k back, no doubt losing your remaining 5k winnings, and then aload more trying to win that back, or option 2 you dont let them win and keep their 5k you still have. Take a break, spend abit of the money to give it some meaining. If 10 days ago or whatever someone was to tell you that this week you would win 5k, would you have been happy and thought great? forget the 15k mate, dont give them any satisfaction. dont beat yourself up, its gone. Do something that makes you happy with the remaining 5k. The guilt trip will pass, all the best.
