Hi All
Last night all the blocks were put on sites I used to use to start the journey of eventually been proud to say ex gambling addict who has overcome her problem. No matter how many times it's shoved in your face the casino or betting shop will always win. They entice you in by offering this that and the other but it's just to reel you in. We then lose more than we win and chase the money. That's where they get you. Gambling is without a doubt a mugs game. I would urge anyone who is dealing with this alone to speak out to a confidante, there is help out there. I had a meeting last night with someone helping me with my business , giving me great tips and he told me ' you sound like a genuine, nice person' that was music to my ears after months of feeling incredibly low, not actually wanting to live all because of a 58 year old has been who thought it was okay to do what he did. But it's made me stronger in the long run and I don't want to be a sad t**t of a human who ruined her life because of scumbag like that. There only one place for him and that's hell and that's where he's heading. I am going to do everything I can to stop other nice people getting sucked in to this addiction, raise awareness whichever way I can. United we stand

Hi Deano
Thank you for your words, he is history, I told him where to go and he didn't like that coz he could no longer control me. He did however destroy my confidence for too long, like many others have said you can't get that money back you just have to focus on the future and not giving these horrible sites the time of day. Is it easy hell no , it's hard work.
Affected by gambling?
