Just self excluded myself from all sites

Hi all. 

I've never thought of myself really as having a gambling problem up untill perhaps the past year. Before this I was consistently winning on sports bets, mainly football. Sometimes thousands for only 1 or 2 pound at a time. This was when I was fun. However since the turn of the year I found myself loosing over half my monthly wage almost every month from gambling. Then winning majority of it back by the end of the month to pretty much break even. However the last few months I found myself loosing constantly and digging a bigger hole for myself. A few months back I lost almost all my wage in 3 days, had to take a personal loan out to get through the month and vowed i would stop. I didn't and continues betting. Again, won regularly and was comfortable again. Until the start of November past I just lost lost and lost again. I spent almost all of my wage in one Weekend. I have only £130 left to get me to January. So as of last night. I signed up to gamstop and this has been my first day gamble free in years. I already feel much better and like a weight has been lifted. Even though I have lost all that money, today is the first day I woke up accepting it was gone and I wasn't going to waste another day, time and more money trying to get it back. I've finally realised I have an addiction and the best thing to do for me is to put measures in place to prevent me when I have that urge. I only ever gambled online so bookmakers shops are not an issue. I feel this is the first day to a better life.
