I been gambling sometimes 1000s in a month depending in how much I have. I only earn 400 pounds a month however I have only been gambling 7 months and have won 3 big bets on average 3k each profit. And I just checked my bank statements back to when I tarted and I've apparently made a 4k profit. This seems ridiculous as I always seem to be overdrawn I do try and spend the money without gambling and would probably spend more if I earned more on gambling. So should I seek help if I haven't made a significant loss? I definitely feel addicted and would like a stable income rather than have lots of money one moment then nothing the next

Yes I agree, count your good fortune and stop now. The warning signs are flashing, you've made "easy" money - maybe you are thinking about making a bit more?

Winning only results in bigger stakes and bigger losses.

I'd definitely advise you to stop if you're seeing the warning signs of an addiction.

I began with a few wins and got sucked further and further in, ending in huge debt, tears and desperation. I wish I'd have quit years before I did.

All the best for your future, please keep using this forum. There are a lot of friends and support to be found here x
