Hi, I am not sure where to begin, but thinking about it my problem began years ago since i was young i always got a buzz from playing fruit machines initially ,( pity the industry couldn’t of been more responsible then and not allowed 12 year old kids into high street arcades) and then when older moving on to betting shops, so betting has always been part of my life and i guess i can understand why, not a particularly happy childhood and now suffering from anxiety, but the amounts of money lost before seem like nothing now since betting shops have introduced fobt and the money i am losing on roulette is just crazy.
last week i lost 900 pounds so over two weeks net pay and today in less than 30 mins have lost 600. Money i don’t have, so i now have to go to the bank just to borrow to clear my overdraft and just worry that i will end up losing that too, the reason i am hear now is that i was just about to set up an Internet account to try and win it back and thought no, enough is enough, i guess i just need help to get rid of this urge.
I always thought i could control this and never thought of myself as an addict in the stereotypical sense i am degree educated and have a reasonably good job. Anyway sorry to ramble on and i would appreciate to hear if anyone could help in anyway at all
