Here I am, back on this site and trying to sort out my miserable existence once and for all AGAIN!
cant pay the bills this month or decorate my kids rooms or take them out anywhere​ what a great half term they have had NOT. As you can imagine I'm feeling pretty good about myself right now. I have slipped back into that horrible state where you Lie manipulate and hurt everyone around you without giving it a thought. I will feel better as time passes (I know this because I've been here a million times before) and I don't gamble just hope I can be stronger this time if not for me, for all of the people who keep giving me another chance.

​thanks new, I'm so sorry about the situation. We can do this and we can get there we keep losing the battles but we must win the war. I'm also going to counselling this time maybe they can shed a bit more light on the situation, you keep your chin up and take careste26

Hey ste,
I'm back here for the 4th time. Day 1 for me today but I have removed all options for me to bet so I won't be.
You sound like me. You want the best for your family but cannot give it when you're betting.
I bet to try to win money for the nice things but we just don't stop, we ccontinue until we lose it all.
Keep strong mate and remember it gets easier.

Hi mba and well done for starting to stop.
the stupid thing is if I didn't gamble I would have the comfortable life that I gamble to get when you are clear in your thoughts. You can see this but when the red mist appears. You don't see anything. Its so frustrating.be strong you can do this.ste26​
