Hello all.

On here for the first time. 5 years ago I hit rock bottom and admitted to my family and Girlfriend that I had a gambling problem. I took the actions of registering with gamstop and that did the trick. I stopped gambling, finances improved, lying stopped, relationship thrived.

January this year my gamstop expired and I thought I’d be able to gamble responsibly going forward…

I was wrong, slipped back into bad habits. Racked up debt and it’s take over again.

I have registered again with Gamstop last week. I have found myself in the bookies a few times this week so today have registered with moses to stop that.

If I can stay clean I can repay my debt in a year comfortable but up to today they was only going to get worse rather than better.

Im not in a position where I can tell the gf and family as I’m not sure they will stand by me this time.

I just need to stop and sort this mess out.

I will be using this forum and chat room alot for support and advice.

Today is day 1.
