hi all
not even really sure how to start but here is a bit about me .... I'm in my early 30s have a great fiancГ© a gorgeous wee boy of 19months great family and friends and a job I really enjoy .... to be honest iv got all iv ever really wanted as material objects don't mean much to me ...... but I have this one extra thing ... my addiction to gambling .... football horses dogs and the roulette in the bookies take all of my spare money and a lot of my money that isn't spare . I know it's wrong I know it's stupid and deep down every time I walk into a bookies I know I will lose but I still do it .... I promised myself last night I was going to stop and I really mean it I want and need to stop or risk losing everything.... but here am again 20 mins untill the end of my shift and I'm thinking of going into the bookies even though I don't have any spare cash ( will be using money I shouldn't ) ..... ahh well I'm going to make a diary on here just for myself ( and if anyone wants to read ) to try and help me realise just how much it's affecting me .... well il be back tomorrow and let you know how I get on x
Walk on by that bookies tonight even if you win you won't stop you'll only give it all straight back or go back tomorrow. It's a pointless exercise just a waste of money and even worse a waste of time you could be spending at home with your family. Give it a miss tonight then that's one day done and before you know it you'll be at a week and so on.

Well done for coming on here - my advice would be to stop now... you'll have to stop eventually and the best thing you could do is stop now then you'll have more time to live life and enjoy it. I continued to gamble when I knew I shouldn't and it just created an ever increasing mess and I just wish I'd stopped at the first opportunity.
Stop now. Or you'll lose more than money. You'll lose your family. No1 wants a gambler and no1 trusts a gambler. We are so destructive in our ways that others cannot be blamed for not wanting to be with us.
Its best to go to GA and let your journey to normality begin
I'm going to take that big win I just had .... and when I say that I mean I drove straight past the bookies .... I feel better now than any time that I have won ..... so far it's 1-0 to me x
