Hi Colin

I'm 40 years old and know exactly what your saying , no matter how big you win it will go straight back in, i remember know what i was doing but couldn't stop myself. Luckily i am now 100 days gambling free and hopefully many more to come. I hope the same will come for you also, i tell you it feels so much better having alot more free time and not looking on the phone all the time.

Welcome colin.

As a gambler myself i know what your going through. A win would always go back in until its all gone. Luckily this site has helped me loads and im now 14 days gamble free so it shows that this is worth while. Your wallet will thank you later once you stop.
