Hi all,
I am new here and im not sure how i feel about it. I am back at rock bottom again after the latest binge session which saw all of this months wages dissapear and my relationship pushed to the edge.
I want to beat this, so badly and i am hoping that with some support from people who have been there I can do it!
Any help and support welcomed. Feeling very stupid and embarassed.
=)
Hi there Sunshine, its positive that you finally accepted that you have a problem, which is the first step to recovery. Its one step at a time, this is a marathon not a sprint. Just as your mind has been conditioned into gambling you now need to reverse that by reminding your self the dark hole that it has got you in. I am not sure what your circumstances are but to give you an indication about mine. My life has literally been turned upside down from gambling in a short space of a few months and its going to cost me massively. I almost had a 6 figure sum in my account and now I am 15k in debt 🙁 This is a terrible problem that you need to nip in the bud before it eats you alive. Sorry for the bleak assesment although that is the truth.
Hi problem gambler,
Thankyou for your reply. I have accepted that I have a problem but im still stuck in the cycle of £20 here and there wont hurt... hey i might even win some of my losses back. I dont know what is wrong with me/. But i dont see it ever getting better. I self exclude from sites then find a new one to use, or a new way of gambling. This is going to kill me m! Any help is welcomed !!
I joined this site today and i think one of the things what could help is giving your bank card to someone u trust.thats what im gonna be doing. Good luck!
Affected by gambling?
