Messed up today for the 4th time this year.

I genuinely hope/pray  that we can beat this addiction/illness but starting to wonder if me personally am strong enough.

My mental health and physical pain is getting worse and feel drained 24/7.

Don't get me wrong I put everything into beating my demons(gambling and drinking)

But maybe it's me and its not an excuse believe me,,  but since I got diagnosed with diabetes my gambling has completely spiralled out of control as if I just can't wait to lose.

Anyway here's to tomorrow. 

God bless...CBL.

New here too. It’s hard to explain why I gamble. I lead a pretty good life and can go ages without gambling. But sometime the fruit machines call but the main issue is online gambling. I registered for GamStop 4 years ago and still a year to run on that so when I look to gamble it’s back door. It’s finding worldwide side with totally rubbish odds just to get my fix. I then spend £1500 over the course of a few weeks. I then close that account clear my credit card with work bonuses (that really should share with my hubby) and start again. I have still got 20k in debt on a loan this is about the same amount when I started GamStop 4 years ago. I need to clear the debt and stop gambling so that in 4 years we have so much more cash. I deal with the finances and hubby knows non of this.

New here too! I've been gambling for 1-2 years now it all started with new customers offers you'd get. I did well made a bit of money but then started putting money back into it I would lose some and win some. Over the past 5-6 months it got out of hand I would say to myself I'll only put £10 on then I would sometimes win but not long after I would lose it and then chase the money. Then I would stop for a bit and only do the free spins or games sometimes I'd win but I wasted it all again. Then one night I lost £200 and stopped again. 2 weeks ago I lost £80 after promising my husband I wouldn't gamble anymore then a few days after that I lost £30. My husband has been so supportive and realizes it's a problem. I've blocked myself from all the sites and determined to not gamble again it's been 5 days I just keep telling myself it's not worth it as I will always end up losing. Everytime I lost money I'd feel so down,sick and ashamed I could've spent all that money on something so much better but instead I was staring at my phone screen all night pressing a button which is just so stupid! I think I gamble when I'm stressed and I just zone out. Reading peoples stories on this site has really helped me.
