I have enough... enough of the stressing, highs and lows and flipping calculations month by month of where to move money from and how to get by.
I've got a good job, stable relationship and started playing bingo/online slots about 2-3 years ago- 25p per stake which then became 50p etc and over the last 1 year increased to 5-7 spin.
I calculated yesterday how much I've spent in the last 12 months which is about 6k.
I've identified its boredom that causes me to log online. I've tried to quit over the last 12 months - my longest was 4 months as I needed to have clean bank statements for a remortgage.
I've self excluded from every site I am a member of- and I know just need to have some accountability and know I've got someone behind me cheering me on. I know once I break this habit and get part 30 days, the 60 days etc.
I have 1 loan that will clear in January- which was to clear previous gambling debts. I kept saying 2015 was the year I became gamble free but I've seen that after spending 550, winning 300 and then losing it again tonight it's the end and the start of a new beginning.
