Hi all, I don't know if I'm doing this because it's the new year or I've just realised I have a problem. I have read a few of these forums and every single one has been helpful and has given me the stength to write this. Today alone I have wasted a lot of money, I have been thinking for the last 6 hours about how much I have wasted. I feel sick to my stomach, I feel anxious, I feel ashamed. Today I lied to my girlfriend for the first time since I met her 3 years ago. We are currently planning on moving in with each other in the near future and are currently saving up together. She asked me how much I have saved and I replied £700... it broke my heart to lie. I know how hard she is working to save up and I'm blowing it all in a single evening. I know I have the strength to stop gambling I just need some help Thanks R
Ross, if you are starting to lie to your girlfriend...you are on the edge of losing more than money. You can beat this. If you gamble online, get the accounts blocked ...others will be able to advise you. Reduce your access to cash. Could your girlfriend control the finances? Stop now....gambling can wreck your life...financially, emotionally, your health.
Thanks Rhoda.
I always seem to save just a little bit of money to get me through to the end of the month. I just waste spare money I could be putting to better use. I feel ashamed if she was to have to look after the finances and I think that is going to be a motivation to stop this. I feel like a failure
