Well done for coming on here...great place for support...
Best advice from me love...ring the helpline.....they've heard it all bofire....and won't judge you...they'll help you in the early stages of fighting you're addiction ..and ways to sort the debts...
Make that call x

Thank you I really want to beat this I’m so scared when everyone around me finds out what a mess iv made I nearly got ripped off by loan company today trying to sort some of debts out and I feel a little proud of myself that iv still got the £50 fee in my bank and not tried to use it for gambling I’m 100% positive iv learnt a lesson I just wish I could tell friends that I owe money to what iv done xxx

Hey. ...that's all posative love..
Like you ....shame and embarrassment kept me from speaking out for a while. ..and like you....friends were the hardest to owe to....but I found when I was honest with them...there were fine....and eager to support me...and happy to be realistic about repayment...
It's often worse than we imagine love.....
If there good friends who care about you.....they'll listen to what you've got to say....and about youre ideas on how/when you can settle money owed....
The institutions that you owe. ..
Ring them....tell them....you're just a name/number to them....they wouldn't know you from Adam if you bumped into them.....offer what you can afford. ....even if it's £1 week .....if it's a priority debt....then these need sorting asap....but you have to speak to them to get help....
You're main focus needs to be on not gambling.....don't let the pressure of debts lure you back to gambling.....it will defo make it worse.....take a look at my diary...
It may bore you to tears....at the very least.....it will show you....I've been where you are.....take care x

I have just registered and have been reading all the comments on here. I too have a problem with on line gambling it's like it takes a grip of my mind and fighting with my self to put a bet on or not and normally I always lose by putting on money. The best have been getting out of control. It is exactly like a comment i read as if it's only numbers you are putting on and not real cash until you come to reality when you look at your bank account. I started gambling as a bit of fun of an evening as had a very stressful job and it sort of relaxed me. Unfortunately that is not the case now. I am hoping that being part of this forum i can beat my addiction and not have that sick to the stomach feeling each day.

Iv messed up big time I’m so scared Iv got stop gambling otherwise I will end up dead I’m so disgusted in myself all I do is lie I love my parter and children so much So Why do I keep gambling and destroying there life’s I don’t even feel worthy I’m totally disappointed

Hey,

We are here if you want to tell us? you aren’t a total disappointment

Having an addiction to gambling turns us in to people who lie, steel, manipulate etc etc.

Well done on coming back. No one here is out to judge. We are all in the same boat as they say.

I know only too well the feelings You describe. All I can say is every day you stop gambling it does get a little easier.

Sarah

Thank you Sarah for your kind words I no u are right I don’t want to gamble but Iv messed up money wise I don’t know how else to survive this I wish I had the bottle to convide in someone I really am at rock bottom this time I feel sick at the thought of what I have done I’m in such a dark place at the moment and in my head I no I don’t deserve to be on earth anymore but then I look at my children and can I really cause them pain of losing me but once everyone finds out how bad I messed up they will hate me anyway I just my head would let me think but it’s just so messed up I put game block on all gambling sites but yet Iv still managed to gamble
