Time to shape up

-

Hi al and thank you for your reply,

I have enough money to last me 2weeks until I get paid, I'm going to order a new bank card in the meantime and give it straight to my mother so I can't use it soon as I get my wage. I feel ashamed and so angry at myself for doing this, my parents and partner have been so supportive. I'm starting counselling so I hope that helps! I will be reading through the posts.

I know it's only been a couple of years for me but I've lost so much already and me and my father both have health issues at the moment which makes me feel worse, like how could I do this when he needs me sort of thing. I find it hard talking to my family and partner about my problem so I'm hoping the counselling will help me. I'm willing to try anything to be fair because I'm just making myself go insane at the moment, the huge feeling of guilt makes me feel sick.

I've had a chat with my mother who's agreed to keep all my money and just give me an allowance if you would. That way I'll have no access and no chance of gambling but I've told her she needs to be harsh with me if it's going to work if that makes sense. I've been reading posts since 4:30 this afternoon and I must say its been a real help, I've always felt alone going through this but here everyone is going through the same and a few have brought me to tears.

morning billie

how you feeling this morning ? its a new dawn the sun is shining , you really do have a unique community here we all know the anguish and pitfulls of compulsive irratonal gambling its a modern day mental illness if you ask me as we all drummed into us the need for money and we foolishly believe we can have loads of it by playing games rather than working and then the chase starts to re coup losses , don,t be too hard of yourself alain is a wise owl somegreat advice , these gambling xcompanies really don,t give a sh** about us nor do the goverment they in it aswell they split the profits 50/50 on EVERY gambling site or bookies , s**m bags really then try and make themselves feel better by funding this forum and promoting responsible gambling , when the fun stop , STOP , a joke of a saying for most CG as if it was that easy

anyway where bouts do u live ? is there a GA meeting near by as i would recommend that , face to face chating and a programe u need to follow to get better over time , it really not easy but all the best my love , there so much more to do with ur life x

Hi there,

I've had a nightmare of a day but I'm holding on!

I'm starting counselling next week, I'm very much hoping and praying it helps.

I've not got access to money what so ever, I'm determined to do this!

Thank you for the support, it feels good just coming on here and chatting and reading posts.

At the moment the only person I feel comfortable talking to is my mother, she understands I need help and just someone to talk to about it all so I don't keep it bottled up. I just keep thinking of the things I could of had if I'd not gambled all that money! It's so frustrating!
