This is my 2nd Christmas of being free from gambling harm. I am so grateful to GAMCARE for all the help I received. It wasn’t easy but I am so much happier without gambling in my life. I can afford to buy presents and buy a round of drinks. No more lies and secrets that kept me up at night. No more pacing up and down my room after loosing every penny. I will be forever grateful for the help I received, so often I wanted my life to end, all because of gambling. It’s a horrible Illness that robs you of everything you have. It turned me into somebody I didn’t  recognise anymore. It has taken a long time to fully recover and to stop feeling ashamed. I will never forget the words that I was told at the beginning of my journey ‘things will get better’ - please believe me that it can.You can recover from this and come out stronger. I gambled everyday for 13 years before I found the strength to say no more. Gambling took so many years of my life and now I am determined to live my life to the fullest.Â
