Hi all I’m new here
i have been GF for 6 days now made the decision last week to not keep doing this to myself anymore. The last straw was asking my partner if I could go on an account of his that I opened a few years ago without him knowing which I recently opened back up (I can’t gamble in my name as I am signed up to gamstop) I stupidly thought that if I was honest with him and told him I was gambling that it wouldn’t be a problem and I would be able to control it how wrong I was. I feel like I go in a kind of trance and lose all control of myself when I gamble. Then when I come out of the trance like state I just feel so disgusted in myself. Anyway after blowing the money my partner asked me if I had put anymore money on the account and that was when I just said to him I have closed the account down I am a gambling addict (it felt quite good to say that just to get it out in the open) I said to him that if I ever ask to do that again he is to flat out refuse me that I am a gambling addict and can’t control myself. I just want to say that reading some of the threads give me hope that I can beat this horrible addiction.
