Hi Alfie welcome to the forum mate. I replied on tgc as kev40. Hope all the advice has helped. I just wanted to say this guy put exactly the same post on tgc and received 28 replies. On biam none not one. I know we’re on here for a laugh guys and to share gambling stories but this guy genuinely needed some of our highly experienced advice.?
1120th March 2019 at 10:14 am #56364Welcome alfie. Very detailed introduction to get a good idea of how you came to be here. Sorry to hear for your debts just need to look at the bigger picture now you have realised how much you could of had, had you not gambled it all away. I have never been in a similar situation nor any crazy stories but have heard many people in similar situations. Just know that you can and will be able to turn this mess around. It looks as though you have already starting making steps in the right direction just keep on the right path and you will clear your debts in no time ?good luck
1120th March 2019 at 10:39 am #56365Hi pal
Your story is almost exactly like mine I stopped gambling around 8 months ago now.
What I have found is I now get a buzz from seeing my debt totals go down each month as I chip away at them and the thought of what I’ll be able to do with all the spare cash once I’ve paid everything off.
Good luck mate.
1120th March 2019 at 10:54 am #56366Very similar to my story as well although I’m 27 now and am still struggling with it, it seems to come in waves like last night I did the unbelievably stupid thing of losing money I could not afford too, its strange as at the time I was almost in a trance but I’ve woken up this morning sick to my stomach thinking of lies to explain why I can’t pay my court fine
It’s excellent that you’ve noticed what a problem it is and well done for self excluding yourself.. Without gambling those debts will be gone in a matter of months
1120th March 2019 at 11:27 am #56368Awrite alfie welcome aboard bud glad to hear that you have realised there is more to life than gambling.
You are only 21 and have the best years in front of u with a decent job and a good family to boot and im sure with their help, ur resolve , and maybee a wee bit of advice from the forums wealth of experience you will be back on top in no time at all . (Fk forgot the sympathetic bookie) ha ha there is not very many of them in a £. But fair play to him . ive never been down the gamstop route probs becos i dont believe in gambling what i dont have . So no debt in that respect but if you think u are struggling with ur payments just ask for advice there is plenty of help here. Im only suprised nobody been on in this capacity already . Sure they will . So chin up alfie mate and all the best .?????????
1120th March 2019 at 12:52 pm #56370Hey Alfie , the main thing is that you have seen the error of the devil wheel and how fast it can make you self destruct.
It’s great when your winning and to be honest that initial win of £2000 is what started you in your downward journey .
online casinos and slots are absolute bastards at not letting you withdraw you funds and many times I have beaten wagering and been over £1000-£2000 up
however there are a few good casinos that have fast withdraw and you can also stop yourself from reversing now on others .
i just wish this was available when I was in my prime gambling days
however I too have been online slot free for nearly a year and just do bookie footy bets
I have fallen off the wagon a few times with the FOBTs but they have all resulted in winning big but spending big too.
cant wait for them to be £2 max spin so I can visit the bookie with no temptation for them
keep you chin up and chip away at that debt it will come down faster than you think
1120th March 2019 at 6:22 pm #56391All the best Alfie, Admitting you have a problem is the first step. You can only go up from here.
