Hi I'm new here and need advice asap

Hi love ...I'm new to this myself...but please ring the helpline asap...I did and it was the best thing....don't feel ashamed..they heard it all before...and will help you to sort it out...take care and big hugs xx

Hi Tia and welcome , sorry to hear about your troubles but gambling does this to us ! In answer to your question about the bank statement, I really don't think the bank would delete anything from statements as nothing else on them would add up! I think as the previous post said you should give gamcare a ring as there far more qualified to give you the answer to your questions about the court and rent issues ! Sorry I can't be more helpful! Take care!

Hi tia,
It's a hard crash when the available money stops. The realisation that we can't gamble anymore and having to face reality of how much debt there is.
Sorry for the hard sell but as Gamblers we only stop when the money has gone.
You have come to the right place for help.
Did you contact the helpline regards your immediate worries.
Face each day with a strong mind and each hurdle as it comes. You can recover. Keep posting take care and all the best.

Thanks all for your welcomes and advice you have given me . Today is day 1 of no gambling I don't know how I feel ....I'd say confused really as I have mixed emotions , this morning I phoned my bank and asked about the transaction query what I had and I was told that it was not possible to remove certain transactions , I should of known really but I guess panic set in and secondly I asked my bank to block my card from gambling sites .

This is were the mixed emotions come in ...I know I have to stop but a part of me wants one more go *just to try win my money back *

I have not yet rang the helpline , I'm so ashamed to even admit my problem I'm sort of still in denial if that makes sense ?

Also I have to hand bank statements in to the courts and I'm so scared because there going to see the gambling transactions I'm in so much trouble , I'm so angry and dissapointed with myself

Thanks for listening

Hi Tia give them a call open till midnight don't be ashamed I was and still am of things I did but I'm not ashamed of asking for help. It's confidential they don't take details and taking steps to show you have made changes will only go in you favour with the judge.

How's it going love...the helpline is great...you will not be judged and it will help...and if you have got help you can show the courts you are seeking help
..stay strong ..us girls can beat the slots for us and put kids xxx

Hi

I hope it's going ok, getting help will definitely go in your favour with a judge, so if your ready too stop and can prove your getting the right help it shows your trying. Being a compulsive gambler myself I know that feeling your having of 'just one more try' is not you talking, it's the addiction. Also you say you have asked the bank to block gambling sites, but you could really do with some software installed on your phone to block you accessing the sites, you need to block your pathways. Another issue is your money, speak to the helpline! Is there a family member you can talk to to take charge of your money? I know admitting it too someone sounds horrific, I didn't think I could do it, but I promise you telling someone is the best way, it was a relief for me and extra support. My issue was slots too, I'm nearly 2 weeks gamble free now!!! It's not been easy, but my head is clearer and life is looking up, good luck xx
