So I have gambled from an early age. A few quid on the horse racing or football. I've never had a problem with betting on sports , its never been large stakes, I can deal with losing a fiver or tenner here or there. The problem started when i would put a bet on at lunch time and stick the change in the machine... fine... but it didnt stop there, i lost that then chased my losses to try and win it back, more out of pride than needing the money, it would then escalate from losing a few quid to losing hundreds.

So from there I now almost always skip betting on sports completely and head straight to the machines. I seem to spend every lunch time now ploughing money into the machine.

I have lost too much money, time, energy and joy!

I have tried to quit numerous times, i guess the hardest thing for me to swallow was that even with the strictest of budgets i could be saving for 5 years to save they money i have chucked away over the past year! I have decided to write it off. I will save, but im no longer thinking of it as making the money back, i am strarting fresh.

So... Today, 7th March 2015 is day 0

Lets do it!
