I am exactly the same as everyone who has commented on this post I could be hundreds of pounds up but I think ‘I’ll just get it up to £x then I’ll stop” I don’t even realise that I’m pushing the spin button (online slots for me) until that message pops up “funds unavailable-please deposit money” and I realise shit! I’ve just done my rent or food shopping money and then the panic starts of trying to get money to replace what I’ve lost!!! I’m no better off in fact I’m worse off! It goes round and round!! Stop it now COMPLETELY! (Being honest with yourself is massive) ‘gamstop’ is really good! I registered a week ago and it’s got an option for how long (I picked 5 years) you self exclude, using phone numbers and email addresses blocks all online gambling sites registered in the uk and it’s free! Again I think you need to be completely honest with yourself and them too and put every email address or mobile number down when completing the registration! I haven’t (thank god) tried to get around ‘gamstop’ or the self exclusion yet! Keep talking and posting and being truthful with everyone but mainly YOU! 12 years down the line you will be helping somebody else out who’s feeling low because of this awful disease! Good luck jade
