After 16 days gf I went to the casino!
I am absolutely devastated with myself. I only have my self to blame for this.
It started with a simple text from and old friend asking me out for a quick pint! This friend is also a compulsive gambler, we didn't even make it to the pub we couldn't walk past the casino without saying quick 20 each win or loose we walk, 340 later I'm walking back to my car with tears in my eyes. I'm the space of 30minutes 340 had left my bank account! It just seemed when I got the buzz back there was no controlling me. Bank account now empty!
I don't blame my friend I blame my self for being so weak in a situation I have been in many times over the past couple of weeks I.e. walking past bookies and casinos. The casino we went in was the only on in town I'm not excluded from so this could of been prevented if I did what I said I was going to do weeks ago.
Day 1 gf starts for me now...
Hi Rickydean,
I was similar in that I went 14 days without gambling then blew it by logging online and wasting more than I wanted to. I’ve now signed up for gamstop and I’m hoping that’ll help when the urges strike. Have you decided to exclude from the casino now?
