Hi ash sorry to hear about your relapse I no that feeling all to we'll the butterflies the little green monster that won't stop for hell or high water to get its little fix. Chin up dust yourself off and start again.

now i had some timeout after what happpend i will explain, back in august i had a one to one session the only session i had, they said they gonna contact me etc for next session etc, they didnt its that simple, then i got workseptember onwards start paying of overdraft £1000 to llyods not that they were demanding payments but i like to get things out of the way, recently payed that of with wages from two months, like £500 each, you can imagine what that left me each month , had a week holiday from work, the itch was always there and booya lost £1200 in 1 hr, had self exlcusions from bookies online but coral for example i didnt i wanted to make some of the cash i gave to my bank what a idiot i am, started of with £50 lost that, depoisted another £100 then lost that £300 etc, this was on coral online differnt roulettes etc, not one single major payout, at this point i was mentally a emotional wreck,then i was like i got £400 left in my bank i cant do this anymore before i loose everything, closed laptop in disgust went downstairs went backupstairs and first message back on the forum,i feel like smacking myself how can i be such a f**n idiot,ruined all my hardwork, back to square one but luckily i only owe £260 but something happens in to my brain in split second of a moment thinking i can get it back but not one b*****d spin in my favour

Hi mate thaks for sharing your info. I was at the casino last night playing with money i never had, 400 direct debits coming out tomorrow and went down 380 last night was in total bits. got back up to 490 and was estatic happy i got out the hole... but guess what the fu**ing idiot i am lost it all, yes the 490 and now owe my freind 400 to cover m direct debits now if the loss wasent bad enough. It changes me compleltly, hope this helps u understand theres lots of us. thanks
