Hi all first day here after talking on helpline! Where do I begin I started off with doing little football accas everyweek everything was good occasional steady win but was only staking 5! Then I found a horse racing page started following that and suddenly I was doing ok! Then boom the big payout dropped in 7.5k! So I thought I was invincible stakes went up winnings went up! Then the last 2 months have been utter misery nothing but losses gone from thousands up to thousands in debt! I've not slept for the last 5 days over worry! Today I broke down at work in front of my boss he was very understanding and offered me financially help Aslong as I get things sorted so here I am! Anyone got any advise??
Hi newbie well done for coming on here that's the 1st thing in realising your illness and telling your boss and being understanding is good for you too. It's a long hard road to recovery and take each day at a time and you will get stronger as the days go by. I go to ga meetings once a week it's a great tool for getting help as well as this forum it may help you it may not be for you but only you can decide that. I wish you well and like myself and everyone on here we all have the same problem so keep talking and reading and hope it helps you beat this wretched illness that gambling is x
