4 years

Hi, not sickened and angry, we are all here because of the compulsive nature of this addiction and it drew you back in. Take the positives, firstly well done on clearing your original debt and secondly for realising you were back in a bad place.

Start again with the blockers and work your way out of it again, it's a lifelong commitment this horrible addiction and your post is a reminder to anyone who thinks it can't sneak back into our lives at any time.

All the best

So it's taken me 4 horrific years to get out of debt. I put all the blocks in place and took one step at a time to pay off my gambling debts. I thought I'd feel happy clearing off the debt but it doesn't feel anything like that, the main reason is because Ive taken up gambling again and want to win back every penny I lost when I gambled before. Last week I nearly undid all the 4years of hard work by borrowing a huge amount of money and almost blowing it all in one session. That should have been the wake up call to stop, but that spin made me feel invincible and further fueled the addiction. 

I know many of you my be sickened and angry at me for making these comments but I want to be honest with you  and welcome your feedback.

Hi, sorry to hear of your journey back to gambling. I have had similar stories when I gambled where I just add to my debt after I cleared some of it. 

Where are you at now with it all? Are you back to square one? You can get yourself back out of it again using the same techniques, help and tools you used before.

You can do it! Good Luck
