Hello......im kind of new to all of this but felt the need to share with others....im not at that point with my partner or family yet im feeling very stupid and ashamed.....this is the first day i want to stop.....ive gone from winnings of 13k to now a loss of 5k on the space of 1 week! I cant believe i have been so daft and reckless.....im lucky in the fact im not in the red with my bank and i have good credit elsewhere and a decent paid job but mentally i havent been able to stop beating myself up the last few days and feel so ashamed and disgusted to be so reckless.....all through combination of greed and boredom and chasing a small loss that turns into chasing a big loss.....today is the first day i have vowed to make a change.....i just hope things turn out ok
