Hello mate. Sometimes the only way to recover is to hit rock bottom. It opens your eyes to how bad your gambling has become. It sounds like you’ve had a horrible time if things and gambling was your escape. The fact you’ve come here for help tells me you know realise the gambling only made things worse. 

Please consider calling the GamCare number to seek advice. It helped me massively. Speak to step change who will help you with your debts. Admitting you need help is the first step. Now comes the hard work. There is no quick fix but you can have a better life. I’m just over 2 months gamble free, in debt up to my eyeballs and have lost my marriage and home, but with help on here and through step change I can see light at the bed of the tunnel. No matter how low you feel right now, you can get out of this, you can lead a normal happy life, you just need to put the work in and take the next steps. 

Good luck in your journey. Please find the strength to tackle this head on. It’s the only way to beat this and get back to being a happy person.

Stay strong 💪 

Hello,

Many thanks for sharing your story.

Only thing to bear in mind is that the gambling industry is a business- and a extremely profitable business when they get people hooked. 

The only way to beat this is not to play and find other hobbies or interests as a replacement. Gambling is a very unhealthy habit when hooked. 

Last note, your wellbeing is priceless and can not be brought. 

I hope this helps.

Regards 

Hi 

thank you for sharing some of your story. I’m so sorry for the grief that you have suffered to date that must be very difficult. It is likely that gambling may have been an escapism that stuck, unfortunately that has been the case for me. I am 12 years into this disease in severe debt but am 30 days GF and can feel the days getting better. 

please ensure you get as much support from the GamCare team as possible. Also Stepchange has been a lifeline for me and organised a debt management plan and spoke to all my debtors for me: I can now manage my finances and get by. 

Wishing you all the best in your recovery 

Hello, thank you!

Stay strong 💪
