Last night I hit breaking point, I am a problem gambler and this has been the case for 2 years now, I found comfort in gambling as I saw it to be my break from reality, I won some bigger amounts, my most recent being a win of £** in February, I was convincing myself that eventually if I kept trying, I would win another large amount again! £800 later I knew I had to end this, I spoke to a lovely woman here at gamcare and although I didn't have it in me to gamstop, I took the plunge and last night activated my gamstop on all casino sites. I'm still beating myself up that I should have done this once I won the £** and I'm mad I didn't do it sooner because now I don't have that security money, but it's a start, no matter how much I feel that urge to chase my wins I no longer can, it will be a long journey but I'm so ready for it!
Good luck on your journey Shereen
