I very been so stupid for so long thinking I can gamble to get my debts paid off i have been chasing my tail for years. I am now in a much worse situation. But that is going to stop. Apparently I'm spending around £6000 a year on gambling, I'd love to have that in my savings.
I would love to be able to help my kids out financially but I've been way too selfish and chasing wins. But that's also going to change.
I am introverted and quiet and I will embrace that. Instead of telling myself that gambling is my friend, because its anything but, and not a replacement for friends or a way to fill my time.

No better time to start than now. The past is the past, there's nothing you can do to change the past, focus on everything within your control and make it very difficult for any future attempts at gambling. Once you cut off the source of gambling everything else will work out.
