Good morning everyone,
At the age of 43 and 10 years of out of control gambling, I have now reached rock bottom. I have hit a financial position of maxed out credit cards, multiple loans and remortgages.
This cannot simply carry on else I will lose everything, I now have a small amount of money left after the bills to live off a month.
5 credit card agreements and 3 loans wipe out over £1000 of my income each month and that is just simply ridiculous.
I have had so many good people wish me well along the way in previous attempts where I could manage a few months here and there but returning back to it due to taking out more borrowing. It is just stupidity.
I have a great job and family, yet when it comes to gambling I am completely out of control and do not know myself. I am so ashamed that I have allowed this to ruin 10 years of my life. I am in crippling debt and need to sort myself out starting today.
Day 1
Hey sounds just like my story, keep trying and doing well for a while then straight back to it, it's like after enough time has passed we forget how bad it is and fall back into it again, starting our new day 1's together, hopefully we can both do better this time!
Good luck to you both, I think we've all had relapses and tried so many times to quit, it's a horrible addiction, just take each day as it comes. The support on here is great
Good luck guys, stay strong
Hi King. Sorry to hear this again. If you really are at rock bottom and want to really put a stop to it all, then the only way to do this is to put a block on EVERYTHING - Gamstop, Gambian, gambling blocks on your bank cards, Moses if you use betting offices. Please do not ruin anymore of your life, throwing money away to rich gambling organisations.
I wish you strength, hope and determination to conquer this King 🤞🙏🙏
Pink Lady 🩷🍎.
@c17ort one day at a time.
Can you be completely transparent to your wife? Family?? It’s the first biggest step forward when it all comes off your shoulders. The thing that helped me the most was my husband having financial control. I’m now almost 19 months GF.
You CAN beat this horrible illness.
