[blacko1974 WANTED $248 Spectator]

Great post my friend honest and sincere. I am a recovering addict myself and I am the forums ‘boring fucker’ because I bang on about Gamstop constantly. I think the UK is making huge steps in dealing with problem gambling, firstly we had the Gamstop register introduced in May and now the Fobt reduction this coming April, these are 2 huge moves which will help thousands of problem gamblers in Britain, it certainly has helped me. This Christmas is going to be shit for me with my DMP doling out my hard earned to creditors but I’m happy as I know that I’m not getting myself in any deeper. Hope you have a nice Christmas mate. Take care.

I don’t think anyone will be called boring for pointing out the dangers and reminding people that there are ways to help yourself to curb if not stop gambling if its getting out of hand mate i would call it a great service and solid advice 🙂

It may be boring to those in control who don’t understand but there’s many here that are in some sort of crisis themselves so it could really help and change someone’s life.

Gamstop is the real saver for me as I was pissing up thousands online without a care for me or those around me. I could gamble in secret and make up some excuse as to why I would be poor all the time. It’s good to talk anyway and sometimes it’s very difficult to tell those you love what mess you are in. That’s why I made this post, I think speaking to someone who has actually been there is good therapy in a way and can provide a bit of hope when sometimes you have none.

Appreciate your kind words and happy to see you’ve sorted yourself out man!

All the best for Christmas!

Similar situation to me, if you feel you can’t control yourself join gamstop immediately, did it about 4 weeks ago best things I’ve ever done. Some people can control it others can’t, gamstop is for us who can’t control it. Every time I had some spare money I put it into casinos. Lost thousands and got into big dept

Do you still gamble or have you cut it out completely? Either way, glad you’re in control now mate. Debt is a big hurdle but the more we gamble the worse it will become. Hope you’re in a better place now man
