I’m sure mate there is a few of us here who have had the joy of ccj’s through gambling and debt, wasted most of my 20’s to the machines and still now in my 40’s I’m gambling but have learnt the neccessity of limits. I still probably gamble too much,but,not to the point I get in bother . What I have learned is to make sure all the bills are paid and a few pound in to savings that are hard to access( credit union..etc) and only play with what’s left. There is no point saying I’m not going to gamble I always will, but, not allow it to be detrimental to my family or life . Good luck
