Day 1 should of been 13 years ago but here i am again, overspent lots of money on this addiction which has left me unable to pay bills or buy shopping this month, but this is day 1 of no gambling i have been on gamstop for a few years which has prevented me from wasting money online at casino's but arrived at a sweepstake site which has taken my life for the past 7 months, i have spent at least 10k. But here goes day 1 i never want to gamble again!
This is Day 1 for me too. After managing to completely abstain for a couple of years I convinced myself that the odd small bet on the football wouldn't hurt.
It didn't take long for me to lapse back into my old routine of playing roulette. My first time back resulted in xxxx.
Subsequent sessions quickly saw this profit wiped out but fortunately I have managed to put the brakes on.
I have now excluded myself from all online sites as I know I am an addict and unable to control the addiction without exclusion.
I hope and pray that this will be the start of a new chapter in my life and my prayers are with all of you who share my struggle.
