Hi guys!
I find myself here again, on a weekday post football. My head is racing and I have gambled away £500 in a matter of hours. Today started started promising but my addiction has lead me back down the rabbit hole. I feel ashamed and dejected as usual. I have coursework that needs doing, it won't be getting done. I have known my gambling has been a problem for sometime now, but over the past year being isolated so much I find myself with that familiar monkey on my shoulder. I mostly gamble on football so the first lockdown when there were no games on was the longest and happiest spell i have taken from gambling, i think reminiscing on how i felt then is the only reason i still have some hope that I can get through this. I have gone through the steps of self-excluding myself from all the sites, but i know that this alone will not prevent me from gambling. This is my first time actually reaching out and trying to get some help. I hope that reading other peoples stories on here and sharing experiences will help me finally make some much needed changes in my life.Â
