Hi to anyone who is reading this I am a compulsive gambler.
I am 43 and I have been gambling on and off since I was 12 I became fascinated by fruit machines at a very young age to begin with and then online gambling and in bookies.
I have now completed the longest time becoming gambling free which is 1 year today.
The struggle to give up was not easy to begin with to be honest,but now I feel free but will always be cautious and have my safety barriers up no bookies,fruit machines,scratch cards etc.
please for anyone struggling you can beat this addiction just let it go I have and I’m now moving in the right direction it can be done I have been to the lowest now my wife trusts me with all our finances and I feel comfortable doing that it’s about safety barriers support WILL power and honesty.

Excellent news , keep on going. I am just beginning my journey.
Amazing!! 👏 well done! I am just at the beginning of my journey too and looking forward to getting my life back on track.Â
Awesome congratulations 👏 brilliant work.
I have just lost over £600 in a day today. I wish I could be successful walking away from the slot machine. I played nearly everyday. Today I lost heavy and lost the winning I won this year in one go plus more. I have fear I will keep going back to chase my loss. There are many professional gamblers at the amusement. They overlooked me and reluctantly I didn't want to leave my machine. Hence kept putting money into the machine.Â
I need to talk to someone but the live ch
at is off...Â
I felt a pain in my heart tonight and felt sad about my loss of money.Â
Affected by gambling?
