Hi all to cut a long story short Firstly I have lost my house I have lost my marriage and have limited access to my daughter . I suffer with two illness one is depression which I doubt I will ever be cured from now because of the emotional guilt ashamed and disgusted with myself . Secondly everyone kept going on how the divorce settlement was going to improve my life and give me a fresh start i did believe this untill I went onto the online slots and did 20k (divorce settlement) in three days of receiving it . I work 7 days a week long hours have zero money and crippling debts I can never forgive myself for this and can't tell anyone that keeps on asking about the money what is your plan are u going to buy this or do that with the money . I am lieing saying that it's safely stashed away whilst I am walking about or working like a zombie on another planet people just don't realise this is an uncontrollable disease I have no emotional feeling or excitement when I win cos it's never enough and I know I will eventually lose anyway.
This truly brings a tear to my eye , please please please for the sake of your health ring Gamcare and get some local counselling.

Too late for any blockers nothing left to gamble if I had believed in suicide I would have committed it by now however I don't and will have to face the consequences of my actions through my illness of giving hard working cash away which for me is a fate worse than suicide. I would rather sit in a cell and stare at 4 walls in a straight jacket for the next 25years than live the life I live at the moment. I don't think my life can ever be normal again
Try to keep your chin up neverwin your at a low point right now and trust me I've been there more times than I care to remember, but if you don't gamble good things happen its amazing. You will see a change even after a few days without gambling. Just try to let go forget about was has happened in the past and try to have a good future. Thinking about losses will only make you want to win it back which only ends one way as we all know too well. As I said keep your chin up and try to be positive also remember don't gamble and good things happen.
Take care my friend!

In my last email sent to a certain online bookie I don't feel better in sending this but I wanted them to know my views they try to say they want to help people with gambling issue but we all know that is bs .
I was on self exclusion untill you threw a 50 free bonus at me which I had to take myself off it to play it. Not good policy from You to do that to a person who has already admitted that he has had problems (just saying) Anyway I am a wreck now and I would compare you to drug dealers but u r far worse cos this is more damaging to certain people and you don't even get jailed for it 🙁
They shouldn't be sending anything to people who have self-excluded.
Delorean I had self excluded myself in all casino games and only had poker available untill that 50 pound bonus a few months ago
i have to treat any 'free' bonus like poison
just because its free its still gambling
its keeping me in the gambling bubble so when my pay check rolls in i can just change back
they arn't thick the gambling industry are they???
When your mind isn't right then that doesn't. Happen i think most people would agree that gambling 18k in 3 days solely on slots is the action of someone with mental issues
Totally agree , issues caused by gambling and bookies looking to cash in at every opportunity
