Gambling a few hundred pounds initially, which then turned to much larger bets. Sometimes staking more than £1000 per spin.
I have lied to family, taken pay day loans out and gambled all my student finance whilst studying dentistry.
I initiated a 5 year gamstop which recently ran out and I was straight back to it with a vengeance. I was still gambling in bookies and service stations etc plowing in 100's to chase a max win. I'd just say to myself if I can get the money back I won't do it again. Who was I kidding..
Anyways I've now initiated another 5 year ban, signed up to moses and banned from admiral, etc. I just hope and pray that I can stay strong now and not seek to find a way around the self exclusion etc.
Such a horrible disease. Take care much love ❤️ 🫶
