Coming to terms with the fact that the money is gone is really difficult. I know that I had a few small wins and I thought my luck had changed – but of course it hadn’t and I only lost more. Please don’t be tempted to chase your losses.
Coming on here and posting is a good first step but you do need to put barriers in the way of further gambling – using on-line gambling blockers, ensuring that you keep busy so you have no time to gamble and if possible giving someone else control of your finances will all help. Also local support through counseling or self help groups like GA. I hope to read more from you – keep strong.
