Hi this is my first time on the forum..... Yes that's right 18 years of gambling 60k of debt and only 34 years old!!!
Thankfully I have a stable job however even with this I can't afford repayments because I'm so deep in /////...
Friends baled me out and now I can't repay, some friend I am!!!
Relationship..... Well, no surprise I'm sure, recently I was ditched by the one girl I ever loved due to my mood swings (clearly gambling related and my debt of which she knows of 1/6 of)!!
I've been here before and been clean for 2 years so I know I can beat this.
I phoned gamcare tonight and broke down, so out of character but this is my new start. GA supported me years ago so I have the knowledge, cut up my bank card 10 mins ago and tomorrow I'll close my bank and start a fresh.
I'm starting counselling sessions this week so I'm on the road to recovery ( I hope)
I could go on... Please share your thoughts with me, be great to hear from you, and please stay strong for us all
