Hi,
new to the forum, decided to finally bite the bullet with Gamstop and what not today.
i haven’t lost tens of thousands like some, but have always had a bet or a spin on online roulette and slots - my last 6 months have been get paid, end up poor after a few days and struggle through the rest of the month. Somehow I only remember that time I won a thousand here or what not, the amount of times I’ve thought I was set for financial security, just to gamble it all away thinking it’s ok you’ve won this much or that much, it’s an actual joke.
I don’t know what my girlfriend or son think of me, as I am far to scared to talk about it with them.
I’ve got a holiday in a month or so and I’m already worried I haven’t got the right amount of spending money for it because of my idiotic habit. I need to stop, now.
Anyone got any advice on how I can break it down daily or even hourly to help me stop getting that sickly urge
