Total love of the chase for money and I've completely forgotten value of the importance of my life - 'For who am I without the label of compulsive gambler?' I have burdened myself for years, and I am at rock bottom. Day 1 today and fresh start on my recovery.
Hang in there, we got this.  It’s day 15 for me, and the burden of debts is piling up. I’ve self excluded from ALL the casinos I’ve frequented and it had helped me so much with my peace of mind knowing it will on only get better from this day forward. Focus on your recovery, one day at a time.Â
@yoli-g the moment I received some money to use to travel, my mind turned to gambling, I had to let my girlfriend take my phone away and Told her to give me an easy phone without internet. This Demon is too much in us, but the favourite line i whisper to myself is " break the cycle".
You can do this I got totally sucked in from the online casinos and using up all my life savings to try and win my hard earned money back as was not winning a penny for months on end thinking surely they are gonna let me win big soon but it never happened and still wouldn’t if I carried on,I drained my ISA my bank account until I had £100 left that was 6 weeks ago I was totally gutted and regret every minute of it now but I can’t turn the clock back I panicked and thought I need to stop this now I had no money left anyway but I signed up to GAMSTOP Ian now sleeping better as I used to gamble at night because I couldn’t sleep and I’m slowly getting money in my bank account surprisingly I actually have not missed the gambling which I thought I would just missing the thousands of pounds I have chucked away to the greedy casinos it’s definitely an addiction like drugs but I’m so glad I’m on GAMSTOP now thank goodness!!!
