Hi
I’ve finally had to look in the mirror and realise I have a gambling addiction to online slots. I’ve got myself into £17,00 of debt because of it, I think my debt is manageable so I’m hoping that that doesn’t become an added worry. I’ve recently had a baby daughter and I had to realise very quickly that I can’t continue the way I’m going, as she deserves the best that I can give her.Â
I realise that the road ahead isn’t going to be easy but I have to give it 100% to get myself out this hole.
Any advice would be welcome
thanks

Hi Dan
You need to go to a GA meeting, they help your recovery so much. I am in 20k debt. You will have your bad days but we have to stay strong. I do a lot of physical activity now so try taking something up.

well doneÂ

Hi I am 2 days free and excluded with gamstop on Thursday. Last night I went to the theatre on my own. It’s the little times when you are bored it’s difficult I know exactly what you are going through but together we can fight this..Â
Thanks guys
i find it’s the boredom, then I think I’ll stick £50 in my account then it just snowballs from there really.Â
The worse thing to happen was having a big win because you then start to think that it can happen all the time and it really doesn’t.

i know exactly how you feel Dan. Today is the first weekend when 8 officially am not gambling. Had a wander round the shops and realising how little time I spent on my own as now I am all alone and bored.Â
I wish I could say I feel better not gambling My but right now I don’t.
