Day oneÂ
Â
got to start somewhere , finally reached rock bottom can’t get anymore loans had a massive wake up call .Â
Reached out for help got therapy appointments organised , changed my bank account to one that supports blocking gambling transactions , put blocks on my phone,blocked all gambling accounts, spoke to my partner who is now going to drop feed me all my disposable income …. This was probably the hardest part to me feeling like a child and that I am not in control but I really think this is for the best …Â
Â
I read else where that the day you stop gambling is the day you get a pay rise and that has really stuck with me …Â
Â
just wondered if anyone else is in the same boat at day one , no money in the bank but got a plan in place and trying to keep positive for the future by protecting future meÂ
Â
not letting the slots win anymore 🙂Â
Â
good luck everyone trying to beat the addiction and keep going 🙂Â
Hi,
I've been there. I totally get it and empathise with you. I remember calling the credit card company after big losses at a casino and asking if they could increase my limit, my application was rejected and every creditor I asked thereafter also said no. It was at that point I realised I had to pay £22k back. Roll on 5 years and I'm totally debt free after taking similar measures to you. I guess Im trying to say keep at it as things will improve and you will get your life back.
Day 1 for me tomorrow. Best of luck to you
