Hi Geordie,
Did the foodbank say who needed to refer you to them? You could then contact them.
The current crisis will pass, you will get money again, you will sort out the finances.
What you do then, when you do have money, is far more important for your future than what you do now when things are tight.
Hi Zlawrence and welcome to the Forum, well done on looking for help.
Have you read some of the otehr stiries here? I expect you will see a lot of things that you can relate to.
You sound unsure as to whether you are a gamblign addict. The 20 Questions they have on teh GA website can help you make your mind up on that. here is a link:
http://www.gamblersanonymous.org/ga/content/20-questions
The questions are relevant whether or not you ever decided that GA was for you.
As you will see in the forums, if gambling is a problem then it tends to be progressive in nature, things get gradually worse. So it may be that you have to decide whether you want to take action now…. or wait till things get worse.
I can tell you that you can stop gambling, if you want to “control” your gambling then I can’t tell you how to do that. I guess that if I knew how then I would still be doing it myself!.
It doesn’t matter what your friends do/don’t do. If they are “worse than you” or not, you need to do what is best for YOU.
I’d say that some of the things you have said above indicate at least the beginnning of a problem, check out those questions and let us know how you score.
I am in the groups here for the next 2 1/2 hours or so, maybe pop in for a chat.

Grazie per il feedback ei commenti P. Era un buon argomento. Hai ragione, il tempo indebolirà un impulso finché non lo nutriamo o lo imbottigliamo.
Paldies par atsauksmēm un komentāriem P. Tā bija laba tēma. Jums ir taisnība, laiks vājinās vēlmi, ja vien mēs to nebarosim vai neuzpildīsim pudelēs.
Geri bildirim ve yorumlar için teşekkürler P. Güzel bir konuydu. Haklısın, beslemediğimiz veya şişelemediğimiz sürece zaman bir dürtüyü zayıflatır.
Grazzi tal-feedback u l-kummenti P. Kien suġġett tajjeb. Għandek raġun, il-ħin idgħajjef ix-xewqa sakemm aħna ma nitimgħuhx jew ma nibbukkjawhx.
ਫੀਡਬੈਕ ਅਤੇ ਟਿੱਪਣੀਆਂ ਲਈ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਪੀ. ਇਹ ਇੱਕ ਵਧੀਆ ਵਿਸ਼ਾ ਸੀ. ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸਹੀ ਹੋ, ਸਮਾਂ ਇੱਕ ਇੱਛਾ ਨੂੰ ਕਮਜ਼ੋਰ ਕਰ ਦੇਵੇਗਾ ਜਦੋਂ ਤੱਕ ਅਸੀਂ ਇਸਨੂੰ ਖੁਆਉਂਦੇ ਨਹੀਂ ਜਾਂ ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਬੋਤਲ ਨਹੀਂ ਦਿੰਦੇ.
Дякую за відгук та коментарі П. Це була хороша тема. Ви маєте рацію, час ослабить бажання, поки ми його не годуємо чи не розливаємо по пляшках.
प्रतिक्रिया और टिप्पणियों के लिए धन्यवाद पी। यह एक अच्छा विषय था। आप सही कह रहे हैं, समय एक आग्रह को कमजोर करेगा जब तक कि हम इसे नहीं खिलाते या इसे बोतलबंद नहीं करते।
Dzięki za opinie i komentarze P. To był dobry temat. Masz rację, czas osłabi pragnienie, o ile go nie karmimy ani nie zamykamy w butelce.
Aitäh tagasiside ja kommentaaride eest P. See oli hea teema. Teil on õigus, aeg nõrgendab tungi seni, kuni me seda ei söö ega pudeli maha.
Ačiū už atsiliepimus ir komentarus P. Tai buvo gera tema. Jūs teisi, laikas susilpnins potraukį tol, kol mes jo nepamaitinsime ar neišpilstysime.
