Hi all, I have recently stopped gambling due to having a bit of an emotional crash due to realising I had once again spent too much and would have to borrow money again to cover bills. I wasn’t a big stake gambler but I don’t have much money, I found I would get paid and within a week be panicking about how I was going to last the rest of the month. I would borrow then repay then be stuck again. Yet still I would think just one more tenner on it, oh just one more, I was definitely chasing the wins. I’m determined to stay away.Â
I'm the same way, limited gambling but it still causes me to lose money. I also think , just a little more won't hurt but that strategy doesn't work either. I just put a note to myself on my refrigerator, "Remember, Gambling won't solve your problems" I'm hoping this will help me.Â
