I started with online slots around 8 years ago. At the time I was earning good money and it was just a bit of fun. I then moved home and was living alone and then the problems started. I wanted to win big to make changes in my life, instead I made my problems worse. I gave up and thought I had cracked it. I then met my now husband and he had money problems so I thought if I went back to online gambling I could help him out. Wrong!! I made things worse. I told him and he said he would stand by me. We have been married a year and due to depression and other illnesses I started again. Dont know why really. I have loans, overdrafts, payday loans. I even told my parents who lent me money and I have gambled that as well. I have told my husband and he is wonderful and has not left me even though I have gambled money he gave me for savings. I am going to GA next week and know if I do not sort this out I will lose everything. fingers crossed. I hope people on here will help me and I can help others x
One day at a time!!!! Let's do it together you can beat this!
Thank you for your support bobby. Hope you have success too.
Today is day 4 of giving up. I feel amazing, free of the burden. It will take time to recover financially, but I have realised that I am wealthy, I have a fabulous husband, a good job, and a lovely family.
I can do what I want in life and I am not going to be controlled by a slot machine.
