Round Two: Day Zero
So I registered on here a few days ago and started by introducing myself in the forum, went well for the first few days and today I f****d up royally.
To say I'm pretty annoyed at myself is a massive understatement!
Slots are my vice. Been getting worse over the last few months and only really recognised it as a problem a week or so ago.
After some suggestions on my introduction post I downloaded a blocker but failed to install it properly as I had been working that day and couldn't quite figure it out.
Had a few days away with friends so my mind was occupied despite having the cravings to sit in on my own and gamble.
Completely forgot to sort the blocker out, got paid early, and have taken two giant steps back! What an absolute idiot!
Have spoken to a mate about getting a second job with them, which 1) will keep me occupied and 2) I can start paying off some of the massive debt I've got myself into.
In arrangements with all my creditors but now may need to call them and lower what I'm paying them again as I've spunked loads on the slots today.
Too P****d off with myself to keep talking but too P****d off to sleep as well!
Note to self: start using the chat rooms and netline chat to keep off it!
Euuurghh!!
Hi youngone
Sorry about your lapse. As others here have said, recovery isn't always a straight road or an easy one. You've done the right thing coming back here. Can you get a friend to help you with the blocker? They need someone else to put in a username and password so you can't uninstall them yourself.
In my last post to you I mentioned counselling and GA - have you given that any thought?
Best wishes
