Good afternoon all,
I’ve taken the decision to stop my gambling accounts, I attempted to do this last year for 6 months but when they came back again I found myself in the same downward spiral, chasing that was elusive dopamine.
im two days out from payday and potless and the wife and kids need shopping - we’ve got enough but it’s got to stop enough is enough.
gambling is an awful downward spiral, at first I felt weak to close my accounts and not have self control but now I see it as a strength in taking control.
I must have lost £2,000 in the space of 6 months that’s a holiday and more and it’s completely selfish of me to have done that, but I’m proud to take I’m taking action.
worst thing for me will be watching sport, I am going to attempt to not watch anything at all for as long as possible and try to go back to how I used to see it as.
thank you.
good luck mate
