Do you gamble online or go to casino ? . If you go to the casino get your self excluded asap if it’s online exclude your self from as many casinos as you can.
Think deeply what triggers you to go to the casino or online for instance mine was when I was in need of money mainly or when I wanted to buy something nice .
I know it’s hard but coming clean with your family is best thing to do they are there because they love you and would do everything to help you . If you don’t feel comfortable passing your finance to another person than think of ways to control it .
Do you use cash to gamble ? Credit cards ? In my case I only gamble online so even if I don’t give my finances to my boyfriend I could just close online banking and cut my cards I set up a cash card account that I can’t use in line and that’s where my spending money goes to and thank god I don’t visit bookies so this works for me really well .
You need to come up with strategies to control your finance first .
I am like you I never have allot of money in my bank reason is that I am Always paying bills hence why I need to pay them off first and only gamble with what’s left . I used to use my credit cards so I closed most of them and got two left to pay off and will do the same too . I now want to simplify my life so that I have no way to borrow money from banks so I don’t go I to debt.
It’s hard but you will get there .
Think of all those nice thing you can treat yourself with the money you think about giving to casinos .
I been gamble free for 3 days now so today with the little cash I got I treated my self but getting my nails done it felt so good. Reward yourself .
I have a little boy so I feel so guilty waisting my money on gambling where instead I could buy him nice clothes and take him out for the day .
