Well where do I start….i finally crumbled!
After 2 years of no gambling and rebuilding my finances and my life I lost the plot yesterday and spaffed £2.5k into some dodgy casino I could sign up to because they don’t endorse gamstop!
I feel absolutely gutted this morning. I’ve been feeling on edge for a few days since I found out I wouldn’t have a job shortly as my boss is folding his company and after an almighty argument with the wife over home schooling I locked myself in the bedroom. In a moment of weakness I somehow thought I could find a new casino and win enough money to see us through until I get another job…. What a dick!
Fast forward 8 hours and I’ve put a huge balance on a credit card I’d spent 2 years paying off, worst of all is I probably only stopped because my phone battery died! Im not ashamed to admit I cried myself to sleep and woke up this morning with that feeling in my stomach I’ve not had for years!
I have quickly this morning put gamban on my phone so this can’t happen again, I’m so angry and annoyed with myself!
So now the journey begins all over again, except last time I was working hard at 2 jobs to clear everything, now I don’t have any!
Sorry to rant on but I needed to vent and don’t want another argument with the wife during lockdown!
Ps if anyone knows of jobs going in Fife, Scotland I’d happily take anything cheers
19th May 2020 at 11:06 am #98564Just posted an almost identical story buddy. Absolutely brutal how you can do so well for so long and then it can be undone in one day/night.
As I’ve said in my post, get in contact with your bank mate and make them stop all future gambling transactions incase Gamban etc miss out a rogue casino.
keep your chin up, you done great for two years which means you can do it again. Try not let this feeling impact your family life, you are right to be gutted this morning same as me but try and draw a line under it. Save this date in your phone and start again. Remind yourself when you’ve got to a week, then a month and whatever other milestone that feels good.
You can do it mate, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel, may seem far away just now but you’ll get there.
Good luck ??

Crazy how easy it is to throw away all the good work! These casinos should be banned in this country if they won’t sign up to gamstop, saying that its still our fault!
Last time I had a plan, I knew how many hours I needed to work and how much I needed to pay back each month. At the moment I can’t make a plan, everythings up in the air!
Good luck to you aswell mate, it just proves how our demons never really go away!
Keep battling them ?
19th May 2020 at 1:10 pm #98566It happened to me the other day mate but mine was only 30 pound but felt sick for ages afterwards been on gamstop since September. If you’re with HSBC you can go on the app and block gambling transactions.
Hope everything works out of you mate
19th May 2020 at 2:04 pm #98569They all. Using fake slots so as soon as u joined u was never gonna win, lucky I only lost £40 but I’ve done the thousands before more times than I care to remember, seems to be a gambler will always find a way to gambler, 1 week, a month or year down the line it always creaps it way back to the surface, that itch that needs scratching, lucky I just tickled it this time but I’ve left plenty of scars behind

Hey mate, that’s brutal, this whole life is a rollercoaster, but you’ve done it once and and you have proved you have the drive , it’s tougher of course, but when the shock and the adrenaline slows down you’ll start seeing things differently…
because of the situation you’re in, call stepchange… my brother law works there and the charity is absolutely immense.. they have quite a power over financial companies… give them a bell, tell the score( job – income – ) probably don’t tell them about the gambling ( it won’t change anything, but it’s a detail they don’t need) and you’ll be surprised what they can arrange regarding bills like cc… and such… doesn’t matter how you got in the hole companies have to work with you … in the uk ( I’m presuming you are ) there’s legislation about how companies deal with issues…step change helps mediate and work out affordable payments, and companies are “ suggested “ to follow their guide ….
best of luck to you, and other on here with the similar stories…
19th May 2020 at 9:58 pm #98612When you want to quit, you gotta do it. No more seeking of forums, feeding your craving. Replace one hobby (=gambling) with another. Back to back. And dont ever come back.
