I just have realised  that I have serious problem I can't deal on my own anymore! 

I want to stop and educating myself to stop but I can't! ?

I'm going  insane...its affecting my normal  day to day living  ....

I don't want to be like that  any longer

Do you have a phone? What you do is you call the Gamcare helpline, the number is in the upper right hand corner.

I feel you’re pain , I’ve just joined because I’m sat here crying after gambling my rent money . It’s true you feel sick anxious horrible the next day. I think I do it out of boredom and 2 yrs ago I got cancer it’s fine now but it really sent me under

You just took the most important step in reaching out.  You’ve got to keep advocating for that help.  Can someone else hold onto your finances?  As people have said on here, at least that stops you from being able to act on your impulses without going through that person.  Is there someone who can take on that role?  Don’t be ashamed.  This disease can strike anyone just like any other disease.

@suzan 

Thank you Suzan??!

I understand  you  as well !

I have always been strong woman dealing  with things  being great mum but  this really  took me over ?

I have got competitive and addictive  personality  ...how I get to this mess?‍♀️

As more I was loosing  I was chasing  it double as next day  or straight  after I feel so sick of myself miserable  and hopless and a shamed  it's hard to describe....

I couldn't afire it and was sad I voud get things  for my children instead but I was "saving "for holidays  and bigger things ....

And it's gone  I tought  I can fix it hide my addiction  fix it and put it all behind  ...

As more I tried as worst it gets?

I never tought  I be here but I'm happy  I am now as its my hope I can sort it out as on my own I just stuck in that black whole  I never want to bee again and feel this way  !

Stay strong  I hope we both and many others can get out of this misery, we can do this, and we will !!!I believe  this has to happen  (realisation  and acceptance)so we finally can get right support and understand  we are not alone!❤

@gdiddycourogen 

Thank you so much  for  replying! ??

I have partner and  two kids ,

My partner  hates  any kind of gambling and never understands why people  do this  ?

And me I'm always competitive  person I love action  well not on this case I have put myself  in ?‍♀️ 

I'm still trying  to understand  and educate myself  how could  I get to this point  ?‍♀️

I was keeping chasing my losses trying to fix what I have done, hide it all ,and what I did?

I put myself  in deeper  and deeper whole misery and depression  ....I fell like I don't  know  myself  anymore ?

I'm so ashamed 

 

I'm planning  to  tell my partner  everything as our relationship going not great at all lately?

 he thinks I'm cheating  he mentioned it once   as he see I'm so changed  nervous person lately ,he never known me this whay.

And it is all my gambling  consequences ?

I'm a bit scared  how he would  take it but I think that is another step I must do as it would  stop me or help me not relapse  on future....

Than you!
