I have hit rock buttom, there’s no other way of trying to cover it up. I hide it from my friends and family. I am now determined more than ever to give it up.
I was winning a few weeks ago £1100 from a gaming site and I squandered it, every single penny after a very late night I played until 3am. I have even pulled a “Sicky” from work to continue that urge of one more spin for an imaginary jackpot that I will never win. I feel as if I have let my family down I am currently recieving treatment from my GP for depression and anxiety. I am also up to my eyeballs in debt and it is a complex situation.
I am hoping to become an active member of the forum and eventually help others, but right now I have to help myself
Thanks Commrades
First stop - sign yourself up to ‘GamStop’. It’s an online register that will self exclude your from ALL UK regulated casino/betting sites. It covers pretty much every site you can think of for up to 5 years. It’s a no brainer really.
I’m sorry to read about your story. But your recovery starts right here, right now. This is your time to shine and to show yourself just what you’re made of.
Best of luck, we’ll all be rooting for you!
Dan
Thanks Dan, I’m on the right path already!
