Hi All
I bet everyone says this but I really did not think this would be me. Coming on here and sharing my addiction is my last hope at trying to stop.
So my gambling problem started at the beginning of this year. I had won about 4 thousand pounds and then began loosing it all. Not only did I loose the 4K but a further 5 thousand of my own money. After this I did stop for a few weeks but soon relapsed and lost a further 2k.
What's worrying me the most is that I have told myself so many times I will stop but continue to carry on. I feel like if I can write down what I am thinking then i can look back every day to remind myself of how stupid I have been.
I guess trying to take the positives from the situation can help. I havnt lost everything I own which I suppose can be a good thing. But this is crunch time for me now. Enough is enough and I really have to stop gambling NOW.
So in writing this is it. I will Never Ever gamble again.
I will update my post in due course. I think the first month is going To be the hardest.
Hi there and welcome? The first thing is to stop gambling, get some blocks in place, stop access to cash/cards, so that you are not able to gamble. Do you have anyone you are close to, with whom you can share your story? Best wishes.
