Hey, new here. I was up until 6am last night gambling away, losing money, taking more out of my saving account saying to myself its the last time.
Was thinking this morning as I wasted even more money on slots that I've lost all my savings apart from a small amount left of what I had.
Nearly 50k lost on a year. It started when my dad was in hospital. What started as 20p spins turned into alot more. Maybe it was a coping mechanism.
When I looked at my saving and realised what little I have left, I realised I have a problem.Â
Hoping this is day one of a gamble free life.Â
Hi
In time I would understand each time I came out of gambling establishments after losing all my money again and again.
The gambling establishments never hurt me IÂ hurt myself.
The gambling was an escape in my fears because I could not help my self heal.

Becky, Try not to beat yourself up I have gone through the same over and over Remeber putting blocks in place will make you forget and move on. Life's short money comes and goes and will be made again cut the losses and move on 🙂.. Chasing will only make things worse what helped me was a lengthy gamstop sign up and Gamban which for me are the best tools Gamban blocks any betting/casino sites on your Phone/Device you register with and all the urges stop when you realise Albert Einstein wouldn't be able to deposit a Fiver for you ... I wish you all the best 👍Â
