I’ve been gambling since the age of 18 and now I’m 34. Never been in debt but whenever I have money in my wallet it all goes in the bookies either sports betting or slot machines. I feel I can’t control this and any money I win goes straight back in. Would love to hear some of your success stories and how you’ve managed it etc Thankyou for your time regards Dan.Â
Just over a year ago i was where you are right now. Thinking there was no way not. Not realising i have a problem or an addiction.Â
I eventually told my wife when she started to ask questions that i just couldnt answer.Â
It was the best thing i ever done. She was so dissapointed in me and that was the worst feeling ive ever felt. The shame, guilt at the possibility of destroyed my future.Â
I made a decision that i would never gamble again. Last monday i hit the 1 year gamble free milestone Â
I use Gamban, gamstop as my blockers and this forum for help and support.Â
I block gambling on my card and very rarely carry cash.Â
Word of advice i managed just over 4 years before i had a relapse never ger too content as when it got me it felt like i never had missed a day without gambling the urgues can hit you when you least expect it
