I have probably posted on here before different accounts I cant remember so I find myself at day one again multiple relapses this year have lead me to look in the mirror and say " what the hell are you doing " I have always gambaled started when I was 18 im 36 now started of at £40 a time in the UK bookies before the regulations came in and from what I remember it didn't stop there i have had some good wins over the years but some massive losses I have gone through periods of not gambaling for months maybe years but the last few years the never ending feeling to burn the money I have left with no regard , I need new work shoes I have been eyeing up a new coat but I can never bring myself to buy my self things its always sat in my bank waiting for that voice in my head that says " ooo just one go then £50" well £50 turned in to £300 down the drain in one hour , something takes over my brain there's no reason or logic behind it its like money is a disease to me and the best part is im not skint in not struggling with debt or bills I earn a modest £40k a year and generally have £1.2k left after bills I've blocked myself from bookies , casinos and gamstop but recently I discovered crypto casinos which are the new devil on my shoulder they have been lucrative yes but ultimately I have lost approx £2k in the last two weeks or so that been profits from winnings or my own deposits, I opened up to my partner about it although I didn't say I had a problem as such it was the fact I feel guilty spending money on myself so I just do this it feels so complex I want to understand it , moving forward we are having a joint account for any spare money after bills to hopefully but a stop to this thanks for reading
It sounds like you have a very poor relationship with Money / Finances I would first begin to address thisÂ
Crypto is a more extreme form of standard gambling and arguably even more rigged so I would also cut that out tooÂ
It all mostly boils down to psychological issues if you want to quit you will
 you need too become accountable for your actionsÂ
