After a particulary bad last few weeks (dont even know why), i am now having to make excuses and miss out on things.
That I can live with, but when i see the plans, hopes and dreams of my family suffering too, its time to realise I am losing more than money.
I have self excluded from every single on line bookies, and have put together a budget, which gives us a good Christmas and lets us save for a holiday in the sun.
I owe money and have now got a wages arrestment due to a bill which wouldnt of been a problem had i not been gambling.
I hate to think how much i have blown over the years, and the lies and deception are things i want to move on from.
Everything i have and everything i want to have, are balanced dangerously on a tightrope...im concentrating on getting to the other side.
Its a difficult journey ahead, but my eyes are firmly on the goal.
I am seeking as much support as possible and will give all of mine in return.
Stick in - We can beat this.
