The penny has finally dropped! After a day at work of loosing £300 It's finally time to stop. Weather or not this will help me to I am unsure but I am finally willing to try. I have never made myself unable to pay bills however every month I always let it go very close. I have never been honest to anyone about how much I actually gamble but am willing to do so today. Maybe having something to focus on about stopping will help rather than just trying to quietly do it myself. Tomorrow will be my first gamble free day with hopefully many many more to come!
