Thanks for the comments Mav.

Im ashamed to say I had a pretty big slip today. Things had been going pretty well, nearly a month gamble-free for the first time in years.

I was just walking past the bookies and have no idea why I went in…. I was on my way somewhere. It went downhill quite quickly. Losing £600 in no time wasn’t enough. I went straight home, opened a new online account….. Lost another £1000 chasing. Still that wasn’t enough, I opened an overdraft on an account I had only just cleared with a loan I took out and lost another £1400.

I seem to lose all reason and it scares meHow can I every have a ‘normal’ life. I’m working two jobs to pay credit cards and interest….. why does it not hit me that it will take me 300hours to repay what I throw away in less than 1 hour.

I’m going to try a GA meeting tomorrow. See how that works for me.
