Hi All
Felt the need finally to join a site like this.
I am 40 years old divorced with 2 children 17 & 18.
I have cared for them since they where young.
I have gambled for almost 10 years now. started off small and every month now my wage is gone within a few days of receiving it. I basically exist for the remainder of the month until I get paid again, I have NO quality of life and cannot remember the last time I bought myself something.
I hate this feeling so much but cannot stop gambling, i gamble on the football only, everyday nearly when i have money, when I do not have the money, I am miserable.
What can I do to stop this miserable life?
Your not alone. When the football is on its exciting doing an accy and most people can bet a fiver a week for enjoyment and walk away. You sound like one of the 5% who is addicted and the enjoyment has stopped.
I ended up putting thousands on the big teams to win just for a small profit and lost all my savings doing this.
Next time your wages go in, book a holiday or treat yourself and try to think of that horrible feeling when you lose everything betting or the feeling when one team lets you down for big money.
Affected by gambling?
