Hello boro just read thru some of your diary there and well done on being 25 days bet free glad to hear you have your brother minding your finances and be on your guard around pay day.

It does get easier in time you can do this boro a day at a time.

Take care

Thanks for your support christ and footprints. Today has been fine no thoughts of gambling at all saying that theys been none for a while. I have had many attempts at stop gambling but 4 some reason this time i have finally seen the light at what gambling was doing to me. Cant go back to were i was 3 and a half weeks ago that was a dark place. I want to live life not just to have an existence of worrying about how i am going to pay loans back and that awful feeling when you lost all your money. NEVER AGAIN PLEASE!

Hi Boro,

I read your diary and I think you are doing brilliant in your road to recovery. I didn't gamble as many years as you but 7 years i gambled and I was addicted to fruit machines and roulette and slots in the bookies. I lost 30k and did same as you and self excluded I had to stop my fiancee at the time helped and stuck by me and i got married at the weekend and now am 71 days gamble free.

I think about all the money i lost and cud have put a deposit on a house I am filled with guilt but paying back all the debt and getting my self on that track to being debt free.

You can do this mate and this site is amazing for support as you probably can tell. So I hope you can stay on the road to recovery stick it out mate and well done so far 🙂

Kind Regards
