Hi all,

I would like to be a part of the 2017 challenge please.

My last loss was on 31st Jan 17, I call it loss not gamble as the end always the same, can't win because can't stop.

I have re-joined this site after a time away, had some messy life issues and then slid back into the gambling hole, went deep.

Been gambling since 12 yrs old so 30 yrs ! Horrible. It is what it is, what's done is done, can't get money back and not even wanting to. Just want the craziness over, it's ridiculous and it's caused me so many problems in life, problems I nor anyone else needs.

Phoning up to give the counselling a go, maybe it's deeper issues that need managing and understanding them will allow me to stop myself from this insane and destructive activity.

Best wishes and every success to you!

Trying again... Has to be for good.

Day 33

I have realised I am dynamic and more effective when I am GF..The things I got done in work today, shocked myself. I also realised today that I caught this nasty gambling habit just in time...There was a poor man in chat earlier that has lost £120k over two days. I am so grateful to have found Gamcare at the stage that I was at and called halt...Sending positive thoughts out to all tonight.
