well its been a while since i posted on here just an update started gambling again 🙁 1 week after my last post

well i have finally gone 15days without a gamble anywhere.
This Friday i finally picked up the courage and told my wife which didn’t go down to well 🙁 she now knows the situation i got myself in and is going to take over my finances again and going to close my bank account so when i need money it will be from her.people may think this is drastic but if i cant access my money then i cant gamble it away
The worst thing about all this is that i had no inclination how bad it got until she told me how much i had spent in a year
i always thought £10 here £20 here didn’t amount up to much then we looked through my bank statements and it was really bad
So in hind sight i was very naive and stupid
i showed her this website and we read together the comments and posts, some of the posts hit home not just to me but to her as well,
one part of the forum made things a bit easier and that was the do’s and don’t section i think this should be available on the main page in my opinion then all people could take certain steps instead of rushing in to a slanging match which no one wants because gamblers need as much help as possible as do family and friends

Day 3
Done another day so far with self imposing, feeling that i want to gamble and try to get some money back, at a low this time but i am holding out at the moment, tonight gonna be difficult as i am alone tonight as Mrs is going out 🙁

Still not told the Mrs yet but there will come at time when i have to i don’t think i am strong enough to confront her just yet and seeing what the consequences of what may happen.

Payday upon me soon so have to sort what i have left and what to do with my finances .

hi Charles i have been looking at certain sites in regards to blocking site but at this time i cant afford it just yet.I will show her this site once i get the courage to speak to her

Thank you both for the words of encouragement

well its day 2 i have managed to self impose on the last 2 sites i am a member of. i now have cut up my credit card so i cant get tempted to use it, just have to pay it off now gonna take some time.
Next bit is to try and figure out my finances and what i can and cant do.
Its seems strange going on a laptop and not making a beeline to online slots sites first thing when i wake up, I just need things to do to keep me occupied so i don’t get tempted whilst on the laptop.

I still feel very guilty about what i have done and i haven’t plucked up the courage to tell the wife just yet 🙁
I guess all hell will break lose when that happens but i will have to take the consequences when that time comes

just thinking to myself how its seems strange how all of a sudden people get into this kind of mess and not realise then its to late
Are well that’s its for today here’s looking forward to what happens today i will post again tomorrow
