I can't explain why or how but I have yet again this week found myself slipping into the grips of gambling, maybe I put too much pressure on myself over Christmas and seeing my bank account struggle has sent me back to trying to win some to pay some, I found a couple of new online sites and probably lost close to £100. I know I'm doing wrong and I know what I could lose and what affects it has on me.

Have you registered for gamstop. Before that I told myself I'm stopping and I didn't, but now I can't gamble even if I want to. See this as a small obstacle in your overall v journey. Take each day as it comes and you'll get there. Good luck

Hi Brownie,

I cant help getting impression youre a young man. 1st stop GAMSTOP and do self exclusion. Take the advice of one whos gambled for over 40 years and reaked pain and destruction on everyone close to him. You sound like a bright young man who is smart enough to take advice. Nip it in the bud NOW before slots casinos bookmakers or betting exchanges own you.

Good Luck

AL

Another one for Gamstop here. Joined in July last year, not gambled since ... it’s brilliant. I don’t dont even think about it now.

Brilliant news!!

Please never make the mistake of complacency. Many times I've been in a similar position only to relapse a bout of depression. I wish you a gambling-free future and a happy one.

Best wishes

Stu
