Last year I went through a really bad gambling problem, I managed to stop through gamcare and gamstop putting restrictions in place so I wasn’t able do to it anymore, this year I have fallen in even worse than I was before via a cash prize game that is basically the same as gambling and there is no way to restrict myself other than to delete my account myself which I am really struggling to do, I have gotten myself into so much debt and I just don’t know what to do or how I’m going to get myself out of it. I really need some support and advice on how I can get back into recovery again

Hi Loz,

It is so tough when there are so many things that can drag us back in to gambling and be hard to get away from.

I haven’t been on here for a while, and also recently relapsed, and I think I was naive in thinking I didn’t need this space, or anymore help. I think this is where you can get the most important help you need, to stop yourself from going to places blocks can’t stop you from. 

I’m also still in Debt, and it will be a long time until I’m not. A lot of things will need to be given up this year to help. It’s a very anxious position, I hope it’s not an unbearable weight for you.. the whatsapp chat this site offers is really helpful if you feel a moment of panic. 

I hope your week can be positive.

 

CJ
