My problem is the machines at the bingo hall. I am spending all my wages there, not to mention the time. I have spent £1100 in the last 2 days, and kept playing until I walked away penniless, and unable to withdraw any more cash having exceeded my daily limit on both my debit and credit cards. I have been lying to my partner about where I've been, I feel so guilty. I have had to increase my overdraft today, as there isn't enough money in my account for my direct debits. 🙁 I need to sort myself out

Hi stopnat
Make the decision to stop, today.
You might feel in total despair right now but the sooner you decide to take control, the sooner you'll start to feel better.
You are not in your own, there are lots of people here who will help you. It's a horrible affliction. It just creeps up on you. If I told anyone about my problem they'd think I was joking. I'm a proffessional person in my work life, I never thought this would get me. It doesn't discriminate. I've chosen to get out of this myself and not tell anyone, I feel I can do it, luckily I can pay my bills etc. it's not always been like that though, I've gone down to zero in the past, I'm never going there again. You can make the decision not to either.
All the best, keep strong.
Thankyou. Just having someone to talk to who understands is a big help. Just coming on here today and reading some of what people are going through or have done in the past is encouraging. I have filled my day with family time and not allowed any opportunity to have spare time. I want to try and do this myself without involving them. Im hoping with the help of u guys, I can x
