Hi , so long story short , ive gambled over 2 year behind my partners back with bills that leave my bank , shes never seen my bank but if she did shed get a shock , ive borrowed of family members who dont know why and a friend who does ..lately i got inot £750 overdraft woth of debt , i got a vredit card gambled 1k won 2k , paid it all back and was looking good . done the right thing cancling my creit card paying overdraft off ,, but i slipped back into it re opened cc and it didnt work like the first time now am £3700 in debt , no one knows . i know i need help and tell my partner , nut a part of me is looking for ways out trying to get more credit....
i mean just when is a great time to say " hi , ive been gambling , borrowing and lying behind your back for years and now got us £3700 in debt , soo how was your day ?"
i feel no i know iam a tool , falier , idoit ,bad speller lol (sorry i use humour as a defence) , ashamed.
sick
so now i find myself applying for and getting accepted a new credit card with 1500 on it..so will i gamble it? prob
will i get out of this mess? prob not
if i do win , will i do it again ? i'd like to think no , but prob
Hi davee, don't gamble mate, think of all those feelings you're living with being 3700 down, stress, anxiety, bad sleep ?
you'll feel a million times worse if that hits 5200. Wave the white flag now, it's hard but give it a few weeks and it'll get easier.
Just think 3700 over two years is about £5 a day, get your head down, concentrate on other things, and you can beat this !
Best of luck, keep posting on here there so much great support, many better than me (im only on day 13) but already I'm feeling stronger, keep your chin up.
yeah its hard , as my partner knows nothing . just looking for a quick fix and i know there isnt really one (unless the big win comes off , but it rarely does thats why we are all here right).
i just cant come to say ive got us into this much debt , iam a stay at home dad too , she works . how can i fix it she would be getting me out of my mistake.
3700 or 5200 still both big sums , the lure of making it 0 with a bet and then get help and move on. is strong.
and yeah i know your right , but how do you break this news . and thank you for taking the time to message me on here.
