Yesterday I told myself thats it and I started chatting to people in the chat room and I felt great and then this morning I woke up and gambled. I now have Gamban on my phone etc.Â
I just feel so stupid I gambled more of my savings and now literally have a tiny amount a couple of hundred and it was thousands. Im meant to be relocating this year and I cant afford to but Im in my 30's and I need to make sure I do move! I cant stay living with family forever!Â
Any tips?
I been a gambler over 22 yearsÂ
Got my self in a bad place and the best advice someone gave me was to call gamcare team so I did and it was the best thing I ever done . I attended 1–2-1 meetings which really helped . I’m not going to lie but had relapses many times with last 10 years . I understand how you feel right now because I did the same last few weeks .Â
angry with my self and all I keep thinking is how do I get my losses back . Last night I reached out for help again and will be waiting for assessment by the gamecare team . Today was a very difficult day because I kept thinking about gambling but stopped my self and kept reminding my self what I have to accept what happen and think that I’m lucky I’m in a good health it’s not the end of the world . I am a bit lucky I haven’t gone into bad debt .Â
Best advice from me to reach out to the team .Â
