Hi All,
I have been looking at the site for a long time and can relate to a lot of what people say & are going through. My problem is the bookies slots. It’s sounds so easy to say just don’t go in !!, but it’s a lot easier to kid yourself & say just a few £ won’t hurt ….. and after several trips to the cash machine later … yep I’ve done it again and spent my cash …. And yes repeat the next day !!!. I’ve got a good life with wife & kids etc & I’m not in debt but literally all my spare cash goes on slots ! And that money could be spent on far better things for myself & my family ! I’ve wasted thousands over the years and now it’s time to be honest with myself dig deep & enjoy my hard earned money rather than basically giving it away ! Actually writing this out and reading it back makes me realise how real a problem this is. I wish everyone else on there own journey all the best!Â
@absentee Hi yes I’m going to self exclude …. I will look into Moses,I thought you had to do it in person & to be honest that made me feel embarrassed but to do this i should take the bull by the horns and self exclude !Â
I’ve self excluded tonight from both my bingo halls which I use  I went in was rather embarrassed but they straightaway took me to a private room they took photographs on I pad but only the manager herself will see it and they even asked me did I like to leave through a door were no one would see me they was very nice and I have self excluded online they r the only places I use I’m quite looking forward to sort money troubles on track and sleep well in bed xÂ
