Hi I'm scott, just joined up. Have an addiction to football gambling and really want to stop. I got into a lot of debt 5 years ago and managed to stop and have nearly cleared the debt. But over the last couple of years I've been putting the odd pound or 2 at the local bookies.
It hasn't added to the debt but has brought pain to my wife and I need to kick this habit once and for all
