My gambling was really starting to interfere with my life and most importantly my mental health. The lack of sleep, time wasted, etc, which I am sure you're all familiar with....i was basically an addict and lost hundreds.......I kept depositing £5-10 almost every day since the summer of 2022....I kept justifying myself that I am only depositing a fiver or tenner, but little did I realise how quickly the losses add up and how it made me feel having to chase the losses which just kept getting bigger and bigger. The wins are not even worth mentioning as they rarely lasted..(Every win was gone in matter of minutes!) All this made me made me feel like a failure and this slowly dented my confidence and self-esteem....Today was the day I've had enough and permanently self excluded myself from the online bookmaker. It feels great! I feel like I have my life back....
I can't express how grateful I am to have that option to self-exclude, because if it wasn't for that I'm not sure I'd have stopped and would have continued losing more and more, and perhaps even deposited a larger amounts! It was only a few days ago that I requested my deposit limit to be increased....Scary!
