Lost my partner of 35 years just over 16 months ago,since then gambling has taken me. I am gambling money I cannot afford ,I work full time get paid monthly and usually pay bills etc then gamble rest.i have just got paid home from work at 3.30pm today and have just spent my entire wage 1800 pound in more or less 2 hours and have not paid any bills.have just had to take a pay day loan to pay bills for this month,never ever did I think this would happen to me.
Hope anyone can give me advise please please please.
Thank you so much only have I pad have looked for software to block but nothing available. Bit of a loner really so cannot talk to anyone about it. But thank you for caring.
Hi help, I'm new on here also today, I'm just looking through some posts for some advice for myself.. But I have to admit, your story really touched me. I hope you get all the help you need mate. Don't hold it in. There's always somebody to talk to. Gambling isn't the answer.
All the best!
Hello helphelphelp
Welcome to the forum.
Very sorry to hear about your loss.
You're not alone on this forum or with turning to gambling after the loss of a loved one. This is a problem more common than people would expect. More so in America this is known as grief gambling.
Please call the GamCare helpline who will be able to advise you on how to get the right support. I think talking to someone will really help you. GamCare will also be able to advise you on blocking software.
My best wishes are with you
