Hi there, just joined up for the first time - honesty I've been struggling for a few years now on and off, but things seem to have escalated lately so feels like it's time to take some real positive action. No more kidding myself and pretending things are OK! If anyone has any advice on these early days I'd be really grateful.
have a look at the empower me link on this site   it really helped me think things through
i wish you well..........you will feel so much better when you address the problem once and for all !!!

Just take one day at a time and be kind to yourself. Let go of the losses and keep your mind occupied. It does get easier. I’m currently on 671 days gamble free.Â
@cpparch this is such a powerful advise.. Letting go of the losses.. Im 5k down lost for a year.. and Im so upset with myself. I get relapses and i hate myself even more
@igorkefs8z it will drive you crazy the more you think about the losses. I took out debt totally £60k in my husband’s name without him knowing, I had to move on and not think about it. Sometimes it will just take you right back there because you think you’ll get that big win to get the losses back. Be kind to yourself, you’re not a bad person.
I’ve joined this site because I have tried everything I can think of to stop but it just pulls me back in. I want so much to change . I have done some heinous things to recoup my loses. But still I go back. Just why?Â
