I just can’t stop no matter what

@certifed We are always so hard on ourselves, all you can do is restart, try and put things in place to not be able to access gambling, gamstop etc, you can do this, just try stay positive

Hi there.

I have just read most of your thread and I just wanted to ask out of interest….. I have noticed a few times that you have clocked up a good amount of debt then in a short space of time, you have come back to say you have cleared all your debts.  Just wondering, have you cleared this debt through winning from gambling?

Many people have said to you on here, you are still so young and much younger than someone like me, who has a lot of debt to still pay off.  I realised a long time ago however, that trying to rush into paying this debt off, only gave me more anxiety and more reason to gamble further.  Which is what I would end up doing and then like you, lose it all, take out payday loans and then lose them too!  A vicious circle is what it is called.  I decided after some time that I would just keep telling myself, “slow and steady wins the race”. Now I have a long term commitment with Stepchange in place and as long as I know that each month, no matter how small, my debt is reducing and over the months/years, this is decreasing even further.

Please don’t give any more of your hard earned salary away to these extremely rich gambling establishments.

You can do this. You really can! Take care.

Day 1 tomorrow. Let’s try and take it one day at a time. 

And I'm back but hopefully this time for good. I will post posting on this thread daily and I will make sure of it. I will not go ghost again

I can't continue with the way I'm living. I am going to take this seriously now. I am 29 and I am around 1.5k in debt and no savings at all

I don't have much more to say right now as I'm numb and these promises are empty but I need to put them into action. 

My wages will be going in mine and my dad's joint account so he can track and see what and how and where I am spending my money. 

Day 2 today. 

Feel free to read the while thread and see the impacts this has and the pain it gives for years on years. There is a way out of the mess but will power and guidance will need to be in place. 

Thanks for reading and keep your spirits high
