Struggling, find life really tough. Cant see a way out
Morning Mate,
I am no expert and am only on day 26 but already I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. If you can, give the Gamcare a call or get on the live chat and they might be able to steer you in the right direction for the first couple of days. I know it is so tough, I'd never done more than 5 days before this go so if I can feel positive about it, I hope you can too. Every journey starts with a single step, you've done that today. Onwards and upwards mate, wishing you the very best on this tough day.

Hate this life so much. Dont know what to do
Its may now i cant spend another year gambling.
I know what i can to do for Mays payday in two weeks. Hand the money over to my ma.
But after that i have no idea. Just put the passport and bank card in the bin and give up on life.

Hello Stopsnow,
Have you previously used the forum with screen names like Stephen2105? Are you still based in Ireland?
Please use your local GP and counselling services if you are feeling depressed and want therapeutic support for your recovery. You could also consider your local Samaritans and Gamblers Anonymous as additional sources of support.
Take care,
Forum admin.
