hello everyone, hope you are doing well today. So... I've decided to try and get help with my problem. I keep using my mobile phone on the online slots and I've lost a lot of money doing it over the last 1 year. I'm really embarassed and ashamed and would like to get help to stop.
Hi mikelost
Welcome to the forum
You will get the help you need. You just have to reach out and ask for it as you are doing here.
You have been in the grip of an addiction and online slots are deviously designed to get people hooked.
Are you ready because this will take handing over your gadgets or getting proper blocking software on them. You will learn a lot about the addiction and during recovery you can get some counselling to work though the issues and causes.
Please give gamcare a ring then waste no time acting on the advice.
Being gamble free is a wonderful feeling of self respect and control
Best wishes from everyone on the forum
