finally seeking help

Hi jamsterw 

I'm on day 3 tomorrow and I'm exactly the same the slots I'm addicted to....getting out small loans here and there to fund my habit ...been spending rent money bill money too...it's crazy ....but we will get through it. Nice chatting to you on group chat....hopefully see you on there again...keep talking....Communication is the key xx

This place can help you but you need to help yourself more.  Payday loans to finance gambling is a bad combination. I know as I am paying off huge debts because of being where you are now. It will take me another two years just to get back to the surface again.  So let me give you a reality check. Even if you won that big pile of cash you might be hunting for it is just more fuel for the gambling engine driving you. 99.5% of all addicts will not use the money to come clean they will gamble till it is all gone again. 

Hiding behind gambling does not make you feel better it just makes you feel normal till your money is gone and that is a short fix.

Change comes when you ban yourself from everything and ask for some help. Let someone administer your cash for a while. Get some distance from this addiction and you will se a difference that can be considered hopeful.

I wish you well!

Please listen to all the folk who have gone before you on here.... its an awful life and you really need do something to stop the spiral of self destruction.    I had great career went on to have good business, would like to think im savvy!!!!   but my god how i got hooked in to the slots and the first nice win.  It went on to me spending thousands of pounds going into the faceless gambling companies.   i may as well burnt my money!  i have nothing to show for the years of hard work.  Within hours of money in my bank account it was gone,  I had no sleep as i sneaked around at night so my husband wouldn't catch me! 

I became zombie like just pressing buttons until balance on zero!!  It leads to self loathing, some on here have confessed to crime to feed this ridiculous addiction.  It destroys relationships, homes, jobs, health and your self worth.... i remember not caring how i looked, i wouldn't waste money on clothes as i wanted all my money for gambling!! how pathetic am i. 

honestly we all think we can win it back or luck will change but the reality is the money has gone.  You wont win it back as it will be too tempting not to put it back in again and more.

honestly cut your losses and stop wasting your money. Get finances back on track I used Payplan and they didnt judge me as i accumulated 25000 of debt through stupid loans!  

Sorry seems like lecture it isn't, i understand totally but its heartbreaking to see how many folk are going through this.  please use the tools out there and stop.  you can beat it but you need support.   take care.  xxxxxx
