I just lost again every penny that I needed to send to my country..1500 pounds for only 3days after salary the other 1k pound I paid to my friend whom I.borrowed money for my gambling..I lost every penny..I earned even from my compulsive bank shift in order to make up for the loses in gambling but again as soon as salary came in..I got in trouble again..I couldn't contain my anxiety and have no family here to talk too..Any help or kind words here..I searched online who could possibly be my ears and help me get out of this..I know I'm not this kind of person but this urge is killing me..and ruins all my dreams of coming to work here in UK
I had a big loss on bank holiday Monday for me I had been completely clean for 6 months I managed to save up a fair bit of money in that time until yesterday I blew 600pound straight down the drown in the space of an hour. I'm not sure what came over me as I have let myself and family down massively again another blip in the recovery unfortunately. The way to look at it is and what got me through the 6 months was that even if I was to win that money will end up back in another arcade casino fobt wherever it doesn't matter and would think I don't want another sleepless night or worry about how I will afford the months for me I would look at children and be knowing I have let them down like I have again now. Gambling is unfortunately impulsive and drastic for me so I would also leave bank cards at home but try and take an amount out with me that would get me through a day if I needed it for emergencies like maybe 40 pound. I will go again and I will not gamble forever hopefully but as we know its so tough but I will def go past 6 months I know I can save and enjoy life again gambling makes me lie miserable and stressed so I don't want to go there. Also I must try and not have a bank card on me like yesterday as proven eventually having that card has cost me a lot don't get me wrong it wasn't the first time I accidentally took my card out so I can work on that aswell. Good luck just keep head strong dont give up.Â
