Ok so I started out pretty positive I installed Gamstop and thought my recovery could begin... wrong! I started to gamble via my sisters acct instead took out more loans, won money back, paid loans off. Took out another loan, won it back paid off loan... on and on.. till today I was sat with a higher loan than I even began with and was spiraling in to despair... I did manage to again win it back and can now pay off the stupid loan and I have installed gamban now as I do not want to remain stuck in that stupid cycle...
I must say it was harder than ever to install the blocks whilst I am actually "up" as there is now no debt to motivate and I do have some spare cash but I reasoned and argued with myself it HAS to stop and Christmas is around the corner so can use the cash for that.
I'm pushing the reset button and as of today that stupid cycle has to end...
Good on you x
Good for you. Im glad you stopped before the gambling gods Taunted you. I’m paying back so many loans it’s ridiculous. Haven’t gambled for 3 months but want to very much.
