Ok I just realised that gambling has taken over my life after spending my whole wages this month, I basically blew over 2k left myself with 90 quid this morning and guess what I have no blew that, I haven’t paid my rent for 4 weeks and I am already on a court order so now they have said they will apply for a warrant for eviction, I have literally not got a pot to piss in, where the hell do I go from here, it’s been over 10 long years of gambling and I have had enough I want to stop I really do but how do you start, I need an instant fix of stopping, not counselling it takes so long I need something to happen today.
I can’t speak to anyone about this in my family because it’s embarrassing, a 40 odd year old woman blowing all her money on gambling, but I am sick of it and it’s now the end of the road for me.

It’s too late to do anything about your previous losses and you say this is a problem you have had for 10 years so this is the steps you should start to take. Gamstop register for it now! this will block a good majority of all online casinos. If you are someone that plays in a bookies or an arcade you need to leave your purse at home on purpose then head out your door to self exclude from all your local bookies and arcades. this will restrict you a decent amount.
I know you said you want a instant fix but if you have done the first things i said now’s the time you seek help either group or therapy yes it takes time but you have put things in place to help you get started. I do hope you can find a better path and have much better future ahead once your doing all you can to stop.
