Hi I’m new to the site but not to gambling. I’ve been gambling on and off for around 10 years now but it’s reached a head recently as it does with many people where it messed with my head, increasing my anxiety and spending money I don’t have. Thankfully I think I’ve realised before I have got myself into massive amounts of debt and I only have £300 in payday loans to pay off but I’ve been spending every penny I have spare on it. I have put a block on my phone now and have gone 15days without gambling so I think I’ve done pretty well tbh! The last day or two I’ve had huge amount of stress in my personal life and my thoughts have wondered back to gambling and I’m using all my willpower not to and to live a healthier life free of addictions and things that drag me down. I have children a husband and a family to think of. I haven’t spoken to anyone I know in real life about it only the chat service on this site. Hope everyone else is doing okay and fighting the willpower, I never thought I’d be a gambling addict in my 30’s but I’m positive for the future without gambling. Thanks for reading and positive thoughts to you all
