Hi everyone this is my first post, ive had gambling issues for last 3 years and have struggled very badly with it.
I met with gamcare today and have decided to join here also.
I have felt the addiction of gambling to be extremely over powering and really need whatever help i can get to overcome this 🙁

Hi Mikey,
Same here buddy! The urge to gamble far outweighs anything else I can think of! It is occupying my mind 24hrs a day, 7 days a week. The enjoyment has long gone so has the value of money!
We have to believe that we have the power to say NO and stick to it! I am in the same place as you.
Together we can do this!

No mate! Online betting. Any sports to be honest the more I lose the bigger the bets become.
Until the bank account empty.
