Addicted to online Slot machines

Hi I am new ..I am kinda lost at this point I don't think I can help myself .I have done this in the past and my partner has forgiven me but I don't think I can ask him to do it again going through this the punishment I deserve but feeling so low the things going through my head I keep thinking I should tell him maybe it wil help.but to see the disappointment on his face will kil me ..so can't think of any way out

Well day2 still not sure if I should tell my partner about my gambling over the past few weeks think I might try sorting out the money I have lost myself and cross my fingers he doesn't find out...then on the other hand in my heart I have to tell him..can't think of anything worse than him finding out some other way .I wanted to tell him yesterday but never really got round to it .now I think it might be too late keep thinking of how disappointed in me he will be .at this point I am not even thinking of gambling more about what I am going to do if he's had enough..but I think I might have been here before .convinced that I will never do it again..trying to remember that felling of dread when you realise how much you have spent keeping that felling might be the only thing keeping me from going on to the site but right now I am still struggling with the telling him part I have to deal with this first plz any one have any clue about the best way to get through this plz tell me

Well still not sure if I should tell my partner about my gambling and the felling of dread and guilt has been over powering got home from work and I just cried so much I gave myself a panic attack but no were close to the sick felling in my hart at the thought of telling my partner about my gambling I just keep thinking.don't say anything about it.try sorting through this myself but I think that might be the same things I did the last time

Hi Colleen!

how are things going? I told my husband last Sunday and it seems to be the best thing I have done. He's found out previously but wasn't aware of the trouble I was in both financially and mentally! He threatened to leave me if I did it again. Last Sunday I knew enough was enough and plucked up the courage to tell him everything. How I was £10k in debt. How I can spend 4 or 5 hours betting. Mood swings. Not eating or sleeping. Everything. Even how I use to spend £30 on 1 spin. There was no holding back. I didn't deserve what he's done for me and he has supported me completely. Maybe I'm just lucky...I certainly feel it for having the man I married been so good to me. Tomorrow I'm beginning my counselling sessions which without his pushing I wouldnt have done. All money has been given to him. Cards snapped accounts closed the lot! I needed this otherwise I'm not sure what would have been next for me...I can't imagine it would have been good though. It's scary but in the end I knew that I couldn't go on with the secrecy as it was literally killing me! I really hope you get some advice from someone. I've done 8 days now which I am really proud of and I intend to do a whole lot more than that! Keep positive!

Heyy I am 22 & I am the same I am addicted to online slots and bingo as I find it so easy to do. I only ever gamble online never in person which I feel somewhat pathetic for. I have won a max of about £650 before. But now I actualy wish I hadn't as it made me think that you can win it again just as easy. Wrong. Bit by bit I spent it all on gambling again and much more. I now owe about 5k and feel sick every even I think about it. If I stop now I could have paid it off and have savings this time next year. It's just so tempting and I'm always chasing my money I lost. But that just gets you in more debt. Don't know how I got here as I kept promising myself I'd stop before it got too bad. Keep me posted on your progress hopefully we can inspire and motivate each other. Wishing you all the best in quitting!!

Hi

oncr you've had a win you go back for more. I hated the person I was when I was gambling. The best thing I did though was to tell he extent of my problem to someone. It's made a massive difference to me and that money that I was chasing back stopped because I not longer had to keep it a secret.

it devastated my husband and it devastated him but it was what I needed!

I now attend counselling sessions once a week to help me with my problem.

Let et me know how you get on.
