So its been a while since I have been on here i was going pretty good not gambling and just doing the odd scratch card. Roulette is my main downfall but I fell off the wagon recently I haven't lost loads in comparison to what I have lost before but I'm so worried as I'm about to receive a large inheritance and it would kill me to blow it all gambling. I'm a compulsive gambler so can either blow 30 quid or 3000 in one sitting. I'm going to have to take extra precautions like not taking my bank card or credit cards out with me. Only taking the minimum amount of cash out with me on a daily basis. In my head it's so easy but if it was as easy as that then I would'nt have had this problem for the last 15 years. Part of me doesn't want the money part of me doesn't trust myself to not s***k it. I'm not sure I even deserve it. Heads all over the place hearts broken from falling off the wagon. Having a down day hoping tomorrow is better
Hi purple, my advice before you get the money would be take all the precautions before it’s to late. Gamstop to block any online activity. Self exclude from all bookies in the area. Hand over finances to a partner/family member. I know it’s hard to stop I’m on day 17 but if you don’t act now, you will inevitably blow the inheritance, regret it and say why didn’t I spend 30 mins of my life putting those blocks in place.
All the best, Liam
