I would recommend Stepchange for dealing with your finances, or call the gamcare helpline and they will give you all the options available to you. Well done for accepting you have a problem.
BowWow

Also heading to my first GA Wednesday night.
Be strong mate, take as much advice as you can, I'm only a week into my recovery so better lookin at other people's posts on here, a lot of good information
Hi claudroid,
Please make sure that when your next lot of money comes in that you ringfence it.
Have a trusted relative take care of it so you can't dig a bigger financial hole for yourself.
If you are feeling very depressed about your situation, talk to your GP.
With the right measures in place you can have a very good future.
You may wish to consider counselling via Gamcare.
Best Wishes.
Cheers for replies guys.all advice taken on board and much appreciated.looking through all the messages really keeps me positive and know the future can be good n most of all gamble free.keep up good work guys.
