Okay just stumbled upon This forum by searching “lost my wages due to gambling” I realise now I need help.
A Little over a year and a half ago I had a great girlfriend, lots of friends and an awesome job which payed for nights out, weekends away and to treat the girlfriend.
Now, I have no girlfriend, hardly any ‘friends’,(none that I can talk to as my ex was my only best friend and she was the only one I opened up to) I have no confidence no self esteem or anything, apart from a job which pays for my addiction! Aswell as payday loans credit cards etc, Which I am now struggling to pay. All because of them damn roulette machines in the bookies.. one month I won over 2k, from then on I kept thinking, I can do it again. Why not I’ve done it before a £40 spin won’t hurt, then I lost it. Kept chasing it back & kept losing! Now it has a really big hold on me, last month I got payed just before the weekend, I payed my bills.. Then had around £500 to myself for the month. I thought well that is just great!(not) so I takes a trip into the bookies, put a few footy accumulators on for the weekend, That I can handle. Till I go on the machines I put £50 in, lost within 5 minutes!!! I kept taking trips to the bank for more money, kept losing it ofcourse! Till I had £200 left I decided to walk home with my head hanging in shame.
This has got to stop, it’s been going on over a year now. I’m in so much debt, my credit score is below 300 in the “extremely poor” section & no where will give me a loan to get out of this vicous payday loan circle.
Feels good to finally get this out, but what do I do now. When I have nothing!
