I first posted a couple of months ago after admitting I had a problem, after posting on here I still continued to spend all of my money on FOBTS.
I decided to call Gamcare as I needed help, they put me in contact with Options, I have now had 5 counselling sessions and haven't been in a betting shop for 7 weeks, I've also cut out scratch cards.
anyone that is having difficulties I urge you to make that phone call, there is someone that can really help you! I wish I was honest with myself sooner
