Hey all I’m Mel, been a gamble addict for the last 11 years. Lost so much more than I’ve ever won, but kept going back to escape reality and to get a quick dopamine fix. I lost 1k yesterday so know I have to make some changes. Just installed gamban, as I gambled on international sites, I’ve blocked my card from gambling sites & I’ve been referred for therapy. I’m gonna let this be the last time I ever feel like this and have to struggle for money. Getting payday loans just to survive and having to pay back double because of stupidity.
