Good evening members,

After 7 years of having a gambling addiction & huge losses supported by loans & remortgaging twice, I have probably lost around £130k. 

With the endless amounts of times I have deleted the betting APP only to reinstall it the next day. The times I have closed betting accounts & then found another one to open the very next day. 

From starting of with football bets & the last 3 years on Roulette & Blackjack, I have now come to the last chance saloon, no money left, maxed out mortgage & loans. From being so good with money  to turning into a wreckless gambling addict. I have a great family & decent job but risk losing everything to this addiction. 
I have today signed up to GamStop, something that I should have done years ago - I am just hoping it’s enough, 
last year I managed 200 days GF but have been out of control this year losing around 40k. 
I need to quit & I have to quit before I lose everything good in my life.

i can relate to so much of what you have said.  It’s about 12 years for me.  I have also reached a loss amount the feels like last chance saloon. so many times I have also deleted apps then downloaded again, self excluded then opened new sites etc…. Now using Gaban and Gamstop have pretty much stopped online gambling but ironically my addiction found a new outlet in bingo halls and arcades.  I have lost a life changing amount on slots in that time.  I had never played a slot before in my adult life….knew you couldn’t win on them.  I am so ashamed and angry at myself.  So many attempts to stop but then relapse.  I’m with you - last chance saloon now.   Best wishes with your recovery.
