Completely down and fed up with the life that I Wass living for last 20 odd years when Gambling was in my life.
Today I hit the rock bottom I never been so bad financially,emotionally and just as a human being.
Â
Since July 2025 my Gambling went completely out of control.I always had a bad credit score but I never stopped applying anyway.
That's when things got wrong.I got accepted for one loan on July 2025 magically and since then I was accepted for another 4 loans and 2 credit cards.
Not quite sure how these companies were able to accept me to be honest.
Total to pay around 9500 pounds all maxed out and went on Gambling.
Owing people,colleagues at work,family members,my house owner you name itÂ
Quite embarrassing but when you want to gamble you put it all away in your mind it doesn't exist.Shame I am talking about.
Today is the day that I finally accepted that I am powerless against Gambling and have to stop it today otherwise I will end up as a homeless or worst.
Cannot continue living like thisÂ
I earn monthly around 3500 take home and after I pay my rent,all bills,loans and people I owe I end up having maximum 100 pounds left and then same story 100 pounds goes on Gambling same day and then nothings left not a penny.So start borrowing of people,online etc all month just to get by until next payday comes.
Gambling is the biggest evil I believe very similar to alcohol addiction but you can drink 5 thousand pounds worth of drinks per night.
You can gamble that in 5 minutes.
