Time for change

Good evening everyone,

So after 14 years of gambling it’s now time for serious change.

My addiction is to gambling, mainly roulette on the FOBT machines. Last week on payday I went and blew a substantial amount, and carried on getting money from where ever I could find it as we do. I was around £700 short for essential bills.. 

 
I hit my lowest point and recognised that I wasn’t actually gambling with money any more but actually with my life. I felt that low that I genuinely felt that if that happened again I’d probably attempt something silly.

Anyway 40 minutes on the phone to someone from GA and I pulled myself around determined to change. I’ve put the blocks back in place with Moses, and still blocked from previously with online casinos.

Yesterday was tough explaining everything to family again, but they knew I was gambling again but I’d never admit it. I essentially cut everything and everyone off and the worse 4 month stint of gambling I’ve had, and I thought I’d had some bad ones previously!

so here we are.. day 4 gamble free, and I’m determined to stop this mental torture I put myself through.

I have an appointment this week with a group Gamcare recommended, and GA meeting on Wednesday.

time for a new life, and time to document that journey hopefully.

I hope you can all support me through that journey, as I will do the same with you ?
