Thanks Tom
Hi Tom there's a post on Gordon moody in the overcoming section I believe. It's good that you're finally seeking help.
Something that struck out to me was you don't control you're money yet you lose it every weekend. How is it this seems to be happening?
When is it you start rehab
Would be good if after you could share how it went for other's who it might help to
All the very best for the future

Hi dean thanks for the lost means a lot my mum hasn't my bank cards and I go to her house to get my cash on weekends but don't bet in the week. Every weekend I lose my wages though and struggle and mum has to bail me out! I start Gordon moody on the 13th of march I'm based in the London one kinda looking forward to it I really need to get better now . And yes course I will post once I'm out and explain what happens when your in good luck to everyone.
Hi Tom,
It sounds like the rehabilitation course is something you need to do as it seems youve got yourself into a vicious cycle that you can no longer control. I hope this will be the start of your new Gamble free life and the 1st step in your recovery as you seem to acknowledge this is something you need & want.
Please keep posting on how your progressing mate and massive Goodluck to you!! You can do it.

me my
problem Hi Paul thanks a lot mate thing is there are some many problem gamblers around us most won't admit they have a problem I'm way passed that stage I used to think I had control of my problem I no that now I don't and I've known this for some time my mum is with me 100% she is the best thing in the world to me. You have to admit to yourself that you have a problem before you can help yourself. For me telling people that I have the problem is better than bottling up and keeping thoughts to your self and remember if your close ones love you they will support you 100%. My mum is looking forward to her 'holiday' as she calls it when I'm in rehab because I'm a nightmare and I no it good luck.
Good chatting to you tonight mate in the chatroom. You seem a really good guy and I really do wish you all the best mate!
Chat soon I hope.
Paul
