First time doing anything like this so please bare with me.
it seems like I have tried everything to stop gambling, block on card, blocking site but still somehow I manage to find another one to gamble on.
i feel awful the amount of times I have lied about why I have no money, borrowing from family and lying about why I need it.
I really want to stop, I just want this feeling to go away, always feeling like I have to try and get more money as what I have isn’t enough, if I didn’t gamble it away, it would be!
I just don’t no what to do anymore.. any help or advice would be great.
Hi Flick,
Welcome to the forum. I am sure you will get some great support from other users here, well done for reaching out.
It sounds like you are feeling really stuck right now and i can see how frustrating that is for you. I am certain there will be many people here than can offer information on what worked for them that you could try.
In the mean time i wondered if you had registered for GamStop. This is the self exclusion scheme for online gambling. Blocking software is also a good option. Many people here have said that passing finances over to someone they trust has been a valuable tool in stopping gambling too Flick.
