Hi All
ive been gambling for 23 years, slots is my problem. I know i cant win big money and even if i did i would still gamble it all away. This has been causing me stress and anxiaty for years and needs to stop. I will always be infected with this problem, its time to put the stops in place and control it. I am sick to death of working all hours for nothing but stupid reels spinning. Ive been in this state of mind lots of times and still gambled but its the first time ive shared my feelings on the net so i hope this is the start of a new life.
current situation , £15k debt, day 1 no gambling.
Ive read lots of posts, i can relate to all of them, at the end of the day its down to me to sort this out, i just wanted to write this down and share.
Well done in finding the site. Big welcome to Gamcare. Those rigged machines were a big % into my fall. I could play the machines for a few minutes and loose hundreds however could bet on sport and spending nothing as i was attracted to no skill betting towards to end. I would find myself going in with stupid amounts of cash to recoup the losses staking more and more each deposit. Enough was enough when I new I could not win. I still think at times about my old life however I know it would result in a car crash of lies debt and battering the sole.
You have a chance now to change. you have taken a massive step to arrive on this site I hope to see you in months to come with a desire to stop. This is the one major factor in waiting to stop gambling. All the other tips will come from reading the posts on the forum
Best of Luck with you journey. Looking forward to you postings in the future.
Same old same old , bord to death of it . Who knows when i will stop...who cares
You need to care enough to make changes for you.

Have you asked for help yet. Gamcare offer counselling. give them a ring. Dont forget Gamblers Anonymous but there's many other options for someone who wants to stop gambling.
Thanks people, day one here goes.
