I actually trialed gamstop for them to help them i think it will be helpful but like all its down to the indivdual and the goverment rules which means self exclusion is only a maximum of 5 yeara which is a joke. But anybprevention has to be good to make it that one more step difficult to bet

Hi Dave

I was like you 4 years ago seemed like my life was over. That was un til i went in torehab at gma on 17th november 2014. For me it saved my life. Went in one person came out a different person. I think you are doung the right thing i always wished i went earlier so i didnt do all the damage i had done but i guess i wasnt ready. When i read peole are on the waiting list i feel you are rhe lucky ones. Listen talk.be open and honest about everything and stick with it. Any questions feel free to ask. Which gma are u on the list for. How long have u got to wait?

Hi Craig well done on the 50days im pleased for you it sa great feeeling, for me though my advice re selling the house is prior to you doing that you need to be honest and open to your parents about why you are selling the house and where the money is going, by you hiding that secret it just gives that gambling side something to feed onto, from what i learnt you need to be open an honest about everything, otherwise there is stilla hold on you, no matter how hurt people will be hiding things and covering things is no good for me now, i lead an open and honest life

Great post im pleased with how your feeling coping and changing, I myself have been a t a new job for year and half now, and i finally told a close friend i made there, its good to be open and honest I dont feel there is anything to be ashamed of now, life is extremely tough for lots of people out there other addictions losses and also sorts and life is tough but its how we cope with it and how we support each other. Well done Craig

Hi, How are you getting on at GOrdon Moody, was best place for me Saved my life, will be interesting to hear how you found things

[kingster]

Well done on your 100 days im really pleased for you, life must be a lot more happier for you

[kingster]

Hi Craig, great to here your 2 weeks have gone by gamble free, must make you feeel more happier, your friend is just a reminder that a bet simple as ￡2 can quickly excalate out of hand and become detremental, you could help each other, but if he is still gambling keep at arms lengh and focus on your own recovery. How did u get n talking to stepchange and your finacial companies has it helped? Hope you have a good day thanks for keeping us updto date allways here fo u

[kingster]

your welcome mate, to be fair you could contact stepchange first and they can contact creditors for you, it certainly will make life a little easier, but if you had payday loans that were repetitive let me know, any questions feel free

[kingster]

live is tough, i feel financial problems are the easier ones to deal with, what may seem big, you can break things down, I sold my property to pay off my debts but a a compulsive gambler you no that didn’t happen i used to to try and gamble my debts away and they just got worse, I would try and write each debt down that you have so u no how much and who to pay to, you could also then speak to your creditors and explain your situatuation and asked for reduced rate, or you could go to a chartity debt management plan like stepchange and pay what you can afford to pay and live at the same time, then you no your money goes out and debts are being paid and conscious is clean, no shame in speaking to creditors explaining your situation, if you have payday loans then their are other routes like I did you can go down and if you have let me know. I no it may seem tough and you may have a tough month now, but if you can try and deal with these like I say then by next 2-3 months things will become alot more easier . But dont delay look at your fnaicnces, speak to them speak to stepchange, its a free charity service

Originally i gave control to my wife and she still has control, but times before coz i had no control i wanted secret money, but now i have an account and its monitored by my wife I get to feel a sens little sense of control, hows things goig today?

[kingster]

HI Thenewjt, welcome to the forum, well done for making the step coming here. I used to think after each realapse i couldnt do it and stop, tell everyone the same story il stop ill do this ill do that, then each time it got worse and worse and worse, until i hit rock bottom, i sold my flat behind my wifes back and I lost it all wracked up debt up to my eyeballs , lost my job lost my family I had a 1 year old, there was no future for me, I new it was time to stop so my only option was to go to gordon moody rehav centre, i told people and myself so many lies i need to completely break the habit. It was alife saver for me, I managed to get my wife and little girl back and now im working again and gamble free for nearly 3 years and the happiest and healithest I have been, it is possible, the best advice i can give is to be open and honest about everything, any secret white lie will come back and bite your bum and you will end up back gambling, start to busget and transfer finaces over maybe to your future wife, use these rooms forums and consider Gordon Moody I wish I had 10 years ago but kept saying i can do it on my own. there are som many of us like that out there, but you can do it. Im here for you and if you want to ask anything feel free

Congratulations on day 36, id try to refrain from giving tips to friends and going thru racecards, thats kind of mentally gambling with out putting money on, I no how hard it is, but i think that would be a good move to make as the temptation will lure in.

[kingster]

Some very valuable advice i was given when i was in Gordon Moody Rehab, a bad day will only last 24 hours. Your making the right steps to a better life, its hard not to think what could of been what could i have done with the money creadit rating is so bad i can get anymore money, im in the same boat 2 and a half years on, but we cant change the past we can only change the future, if we dwell on things it only has a negative impact on us, i find it tough when i need to get things things go wrong, coz i could of had no problems if i didn’t gamble, but for us its hard, take one day as you can, 4 days is great, each day life dose get better, work on things, be positive give your self some time to sit reflect and make sure you make the right choices, always here for you, i feel your pain, but well don recogising the steps u need to take, I had to hit rock bottom and got rehab to make the change
