cut a long story short
ive flirted with gamberling on and off for years bookies/online and never bet on sports
yes thats right the evil machines/slots
im currently on the mend from a cornea transplant
( i now have a dead persons eye technically)
anyways i said to myself and my girlfreind who also is unlucky to have a alcholic mum on the road to recovery who is doing good, which has a sponspor etc and gave me the idea to join hear. i said to my sweet girlfreind who is well out my leauge i will never bet again i promise but that was yesterday
i woke up this morning having been underpaid by my boss which got me angry at first but i thought a sneaky £10 bet wont hurt anyone. i was wrong i got to 4pm without even thinking about betting on jackpotjoy and was clean well clean for 5 hours
it hit 4am deposit after deposit left me with nothing
so here i am the fresh walk ahead. all i feel is hate/shame/ and guilt
how long will it be next
be nice im new
peace
.......
That message one of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me, im so glad i havecome here, who knows i could maybe work with gamcare at festivals and other promo places to raise awareness but lets crawl before i walk
woke up today feeling numb and down but todayhas turned out plesant, i built sandpies and castles with my neice in the sun. Also ate ice lollys, this is my first day of many days of recovery and it feels great
