Hi,
I found my previous posts on here, from 2008! Decided to restart as I have fallen badly again. The anxiety and regret is overwhelming. Panic attacks come in waves and I am finding it difficult to concentrate in work. I wasted £1000+ in one day on online slots, on Sunday. How does this adduction do this to a supposedly intelligent person? I live in a horrible house with no luxuries despite earning good wages. We have had no holidays. Life should have been so much better. I hate this and myself but continue to hide this from everyone that knows me. I'm so ashamed.
Hey buddy
Your not alone , far from it , its a crazy pulasating addiction that once sets in can sit dormant like a volcona , waiting for life to stress you out or a trigger point ( i got very intoxicated last night as went on a binge for example ) and then bang it explodes and don,t matter if you are wealthy , intelligent " have it all " it will take you for a ride as easily take all your money , im a defo a CG but like to think i can walk and stop with a profit i did last night won £100 not a lot but if you can,t walk with anything then best to stop completly , don,t hide the problem , don,t be so ashamed , you just have too look at the high street or all the TV ads promoting gambling trying to take out money , goverment love it as take almost half of profits so don,texcept sympathy from them but we are victims of these mass £££ earner , stop now , focus on a holiday , new furniture but i know easier said then done , other ppl will advise as im still in middle of this volcano
but i care , stay in touch

I am so angry with myself for not having any self control. £1000+! w*f. When I think what I could do with that. Now I have to pay off a ****ing pay day loan. What is wrong with me.
Affected by gambling?
