Hi Everyone,
Last month I had had enough of gambling, wasting my entire wages each month within days and then struggling by the rest of the month, after another bad weekend after payday with online slots I banned myself from Gambling for 5 years through GAMSTOP.
Today is the 29th day I have not gambled and I must admit how much of a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.
I got paid 3 days ago and I have paid all my monthly bills and paid something toward one of my more serious debt while I arrange a payment plan and I have still have money left in the bank which will get me through the rest of the month without much of a worry.
This time 4 weeks ago I was sick with worry and stress after blowing my entire wage over the weekend 3 days after receiving it, and I am thankful for GAMSTOP because I know for sure I would have most likely be sitting in the same position again had I not put those blocks in place last month.
I haven’t posted much on here since I first joined 29 days ago and told a bit of my story, but I have been reading other people’s stories and find them inspiring.
I have a long way to go in my recovery, and speaking about it is my biggest issue now and it’s something I am still keeping a secret, I have mentioned to a few friends that I have quit gambling for 5 years but didn’t go in to how bad my habits had become, maybe it’s something I can work up too.
Well done on what you’ve achieved so far. Gamstop has been a game changer for me. All the best.
