My name is Dan. I can't stop gambling. I have read a lot of testimonials on here about people who have lost everything, gambled away their wedding funds and stuff like that. I have never done anything like that but its only a matter of time. My partner handles our money. I have no access to our saving but I guarentee you if I did, the wheel would be spinning right now.
Gambling changes me. I mean when I'm actually watching the wheel, I change. I become arrogant, much like the effects of C*****e. I'm so ashamed of my behaviour. for example, sometimes I plan to go somewhere on the bus but I only get as far as the bookies. I blow all my money and then go home because I can't afford the bus. I have lied, stollen and conned to feed my habbit.
I'll be as honest as I can but I make no excusses. I hate myself.
Thank you for the welcome, Dean. I called gamcare today and spoke to an advisor. That have referred me to a one to one counsellor

Hi Dan saw you briefly drop into chat all the advise above is spot on. I've managed 113 days after gambling the wedding fund. It's not been easy and still not but it is a little easier.
Keep reading and maybe start you own diary.
It can work if we work at it
