I have an old recovery diary on here that i havent used for a couple of years but decided to start a new one. Basically for the last two years I was doing ok untill January this year, when for absolutely no reason i cracked and had a bet. For the last few weeks i have steadily thrown away almost all my savings to get my gambling fix. To be honest right now i feel totally ashamed and numb. Over the last month ive been lying through my teeth to people to cover up my gambling and im completely sick of it. This forum helped me alot when i quit before and im certain it will help again.
Hello there
Well done for coming back to the Forum. You say that you started gambling for ‘absolutely no reason’ but there is always a reason behind gambling, especially when it gets out of control. It sounds like you’ve been struggling with it for years, even though you had a break from it. Perhaps it is time to understand your gambling behaviour, since it has returned. I hope you get a lot of support in the Forum but I would suggest that you also get in touch with an advisor for a chat and advice.
Best wishes,
Forum Admin
