Today I am 23 days gamble free after many botched attempts of quitting over the last 10 years and hundreds of thousands lost.Â
I had a bad nights sleep and woke up with a bit of anxiety over my gambling debts. It isn’t until you attempt to stop is when the realisation of the ridiculously amounts of money I have lost over the years hits hard and why I am now struggling financially paying them off.Â
Every day is a battle but today will be another day gamble free. It is hard to look to the future after so much debt to pay off from the past. It isn’t until I am debt free where I personally feel I can move on from this. 3 years to go. Â
This is my time to beat this 🙏
Hi King.  Please try not to dwell on what you owe. Three years is nothing compared to how long it will take me to pay my debts off with Stepchange. I would be delighted if I knew my debts were going to be paid off in 3 years but they won’t so instead, I just try reminding myself that as each month passes, my debts are slowly decreasing and whilst I remain g.f, my bank balance stays healthy.
Try to focus more on as each day passes, you are another day g.f and another day where you have not increased your debt. One of the many reasons I believe people return to gambling is because they dwell on their debts which then in turn, often leads them back to gambling and more often than not, in even more debt than they were before!
I wish you strength and determination 💪🙏.

@j5a6meyr4z Thank you Pink Lady. Wise words as ever.Â
Thank you for the ongoing support.
It’s true focusing on debts gets u in more debt. Just avoid thinking about the debt because it will cause u to gamble and create even more debtsÂ
