The financial stress after quitting is unbearable no way out

Yes this is what has led me back to it .....and it's definitely the case that you will lose more. I agree it's the worst thing anyone can do. The way you play when you are chasing is more reckless because you're trying to recover past losses and get ahead with the money you are risking again. It's never going to end well because you are not in control from the start. I know I need to quit but I can't seem to put the final nail in and stop completely. So that means I don't get the professional help I need .... because I haven't stopped, becuase i keep telling myself i will get some money back. I don't know how you get to the stage where you know you need to stop, you WANT to and you do exactly that. I need to but I can't seem to want to . Then the cycle carries on that I know is destroying my life. 

Yes and the only way it worked for friends and family of mine they got the funds to clear the stressful lender debts and was able to sleep at night and battle the loans but at least no money lender or external debts and at that point you can put your foot down and never gamble again but to get to that point u need funds and the only to us to get those funds seems to be gambling to us but u only go deeper and deeper

If you have stopped gambling then automatically you get a pay rise. If you are then able to call all of your debtors you can arrange repayments that allow you to live life. You don’t need a miracle or some sudden windfall, just a thought out plan.

I’m sure you can contact Gamcare who will put you in touch with organisations like Stepchange which can help with debts.

Surely having a debt but a manageable debt is better than the life that gambling has caused you?

@chris-uk you're right yes just I live in the Caribbean and my loans are all maxed out but they are not the problem the problem is the external smaller debts and there just is no where to get funds and the calls constantly just send you crazy 

It's tough the financial stress but as someone has said one you stop you instantly get your wage back. Get your finances in order by calling all debtors you will see they are quite reasonable like reducing interest etc. I did that. It was horrible telling a random your darkest secrets but had to be done for clarity and to sleep a little better at night. You need to look after yourself now and treat it like mourning period you have lost your love affair with gambling but it's for the best as it was destroying you. Time is the best healer and in time the monthly payment will become the norm. And one day you will be out of debt and free. It's just hard along the way not going to sugar coat that but you will learn from it and teach someone else just like I'm doing now. I was 5 years clean and got arrogant after stopping ga. Last my savings and had to start again it hurt so much but two months later I have accepted it and living life a day at a time rebuilding. All the best friend you are not alone. 

Thank you very much for your kind words I am over gambling as I said its just the debts my salary is basically nothing but talking to my debtors and reasoning with them is giving me some comfort and I know I will come out on the bright side where I will have debt still but managed and can sleep at night .....relapsing is the worst and can't see it happening to me I even got some cash from my mom to pay at least 1 debtor and went into the casino instead with friends who I confessed to and we just limed and chilled and not for one second I thought of even putting 1$ in the machine never again I tested myself and as I was leaving told the manager this is the last time I will be in here and he was actually happy and put a bann on me to protect me
