Hi guys!!
Where do I start?? Every night I say I will not gamble ... By the next day I convince myself just £20 more to try win some back.
This is then escalates to more and more.
How do I break the habit. Where do I start???
Hi Chloesmum
You have already started! 🙂
Recognising that you have a gambling problem and admitting it is the first step. Now you have to be willing to do something about it.
GA is a good step in the right direction. Counselling is another option.
Informing your partner and handing over control of your finances is a must do. Put as many barriers in place as you can to help prevent you from gambling when the urge comes along.
Read thru some of the threads on this forum so that you are more aware of where this addiction can take you. Those stories are all true.
Be aware that there is no magic fix for this addiction. You have to want to stop, the choice is totally up to you whether you do stop or don't.
Best wishes
