Oh loulou

You sound so down today and I relate to that. I've not gambled but just feel I can't get over the last loss. I've heard a lot about these unlicensed sites and it makes me sick. This industry needs to be stopped even more than the licensed. Don't ever feel your not worthy as your just as worthy as anyone else maybe even more with what your going through. Loulou if it was that easy to stop none of us would be on this site, your a good person helping other's when you can and everyone is here too help you, just remember we all have bad days and we all deserve help no matter what. I hope this can help you see through the fog

Someone from gamcare finally rang me I feel better for having a chat ..just emotional today..she is going to contact the counselling service for me so hopefully that can get started again next week.

When I first started gambling best support for me was gamstop and refrain from all types of gambling.

But right now I just want help to limit the harm from it..which they said is okay..I'm gambling hours on end I need help control limit amount spend I know best way is to totally give it up that worked first time round but right now i cant commit to that but I need to reduce the harm maybe counselling can help me with ways to control amount time money spend next week

Going to try to at least aim for one hour no gambling tonight might not seem like anything to others but I need a break

Hi Lou

 

Did you manage to get any help going any further?  I know things seem dark and hopeless now but there is light at the end of the tunnel for you and it is not far away. You can do this.
