I'm 39 years old, gambling since 16. Never really a big gambler (for me) until 21. Always start, stop and then started back gambling. I'm far from been a rich person but I really had no concept off money. "Easy come easy go" mentality and looking back it's has follower me in my whole life!
5years ago I meet the love off my life and she warn me if she ever find me gambling it's all over. For a very long time I didn't gamble and we bought a house have 2 cars and living a really sweet lovely life together. BUT somewhere last year I start gambling again. Started off really small like fivers but a few months down the line it was hundreds! I really cant put my finger on why this happened? Could it be stuck at home by myself because off covid? Maybe got complacent in my head? Or was I just weak and broke? Or am I just useless and pure dirty under my shoe? That's how I feel right now as the woman seen my credit card balance and hit the roof and took the walls off it!
It finally dawn on me gambling isnt the answer and that love you get back from someone you love is so much more than watching silly stupid horses running around a field!!
Sorry for my rant but already its help me!
I think Covid will have been a big issue for lots of us. I have never spent so much time at home in front of my PC "working" also without the the need to commute it means i can be up at all hours without feeling too tired the next day.
So true LiamS and if we are at our workplace we wouldn't be looking at gambling as much as I be busy doing my work. There far too much temptation.
One feeling at a time
