Hello all
I have gambled myself into debt that I struggle to pay off so I have ignored debt collectors. I have failed to tax or insurance my car because I have gambled my money away and risk losing it. I have stole money that was given to my children to fund my addiction and I risk loosing my family. I don't know how to stop and I need help.
Dear Gazman88,
First of all welcome to our Forum, I'm glad you've come to write here and share what you've been going through. It sounds like a really intense time for you, and you don't need to go through this on your own. Reaching out to us is a really good first step, and there are lots of options to support you to change your gambling or to help you manage your debt.
If you haven't done so already, you might like to contact StepChange the debt charity. They offer free debt advice and money guidance. You can call them on 0800 138 1111, Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm and Saturday 8am to 4pm.
If you'd like to look into help to stop gambling we can offer you, or talk things through with us, please do get in touch with one of our advisers. Our HelpLine on 0808 8020 133 and our 1:1 Livechat are both open 24 hours every day.
Wishing you the best,
