Hello everyone!!
I am here for the final time! I am a failure! Gambling has consumed my free time for years and I can't take it anymore. I am in a place just now we're gambling is priority to everything. I would put a spin on a slot first before I think of consequences of bills etc. I got a good bonus is month which has made it more accessible to feed my habit.
I am 28 and have been gambling for 15 years only in the past 6 or 7 being high amounts of my wage, if I look back over the years I have never won, I ask myself why? I have no answer other than you are an idiot martin! I have nil debt (apart from a few payday loan which are controlled) as I have already been down the route of trust deed/IVA. So as of the June 2014 my credit rating is improved. I need to nip this in the bud before I do something stupid.
I have self excluded from bookies, and internet sites going I spent my last £70 pounds on an internet gaming site tonight and this must/needs to be the last time. Any advise would be immensely appreciated! Tomorrow is day one of my new life and being 100% committed is the only way. I am going to read further into your diary to get an inside into how to abstain from gambling and improve everyday life! I have house I rent a good car and a good job. I work do hard extra hours for extra pay and I do it all for gambling. I want to be normal when you get a wage and the disposable income is actually mines.
Hope everyone is doing well and I will wake up a new man with only one goal in mind to get back into my bed 100% gamble free. I have money left so it starts from day one! Here goes!!
Thanks for taking the time to read.

Hi Martin
There are no easy solutions to getting into recovery. it is a case of facing it head on until you feel comfortable with yourself. Consider yourself as a survivor of gambling in your life rather than a victim of gambling. Move on and get your mind in to a more healthier place. Contact Netline and speak to an advisor and you'll get some ideas how to combat this horrid addiction. Just get through today and think of nothing else in the early days. You will grow stronger as the days and weeks go by!
Take care
Martin I like you have let my gambling spiral out of control where my priorities in life was gambling first and everything else was irrelevant - this is wrong!
Take it day by day each day without gambling is a small victory for you!!!
Stay strong and keep coming back here each day!
Cheers mate
