Hi, I have been reading this site for about a month, thought it was time I joined in - admitting that I have a problem.
I am going to start a diary in the diary section.
I have always liked a bet, but I'm not really into sports and so it never was a frequent thing or any problem. I got into b*****r trading, was very bad at it, but kept throwing money at it - this was about 10 years ago. I stopped this, and online slots took over.
I have self excluded on the sites I am a member of (member of all of them!), but then it isn't too difficult to find an online casino that you've never joined before, a new one pops up every week.
I am so ashamed of the money I have thrown into this. Me and hubby are not well off at all, and he works so hard. I manage the money and he trusts me 100%. I drew a line under the past a long time ago on how much money I have wasted on this. But it is hard to move on from my recent bets which were only yesterday.
Anyway, I am here.
H Catwoman ,I'm new too.my issues too is with online slots and I joined on Friday after spend I what little I had for me and my daughter hoping to win more. Its made me desperately unhappy. I'm currently two days into not gambling and have spent some time reading through the forums for advice and tips. Its been good knowing I am not alone in this and the support is wonderful here. Read through the diaries and the forums, get acquainted and take one step at a time.
Best wishes
Hi! I only joined today too! It's reassuring to learn I'm not the only one with this addiction. I also spend all my money on slots, self excluded from many sites (I'm also a member of all of them) and still keep finding new ones. I have been struggling with this for 6 months now and been spending all I have and managed to get myself into quite a lot of debt. It's very difficult, it's definitely ruined my life. Nice to read people's experiences and it seems that there is hope..
So, I'm here too!
Hi guys

I am going to a one to one chat and see if that helps it's telling people that I am finding hard they will be so upset with me.
