Morning

Here to make sure i can re-read this and see how stupid i am. 

I've got up this morning and decided to try and stop gambling again , i've been bad in the past but 2025 and 2026 i've been worse than ever back to looking at my phone constantly and not sociable , i feel horrible what a waste i've been. The issue is that i could not stop myself or find rock bottom i wanted to keep on going to try and win money back and get a buzz from it. I've manage to blow £20,000.

I'm really ashamed of myself and im not sure where i start this time to keep away from gambling , i need to try and keep busy or something i really want to no longer gamble and be a better person.
