      Hi all. This is my first post.

      I’m currently a student studying a part time accounting course. I also work as a Cashier for a bookmaker on the high street. I’ve joined and posted today due to me maxing my overdraft on gambling sites after just getting out of it very recently. Just been paid a couple days ago and blew all my money on a horse. Self excluded but I honestly don’t know how to get through everything esp since I work at a bookies and seeing people win really gets me wanting to bet on them. I seem to ignore the 100’s people lose and only see the rare winners and I don’t know what to do. Any help is appreciated!

      Hi there, I appreciate that you need a job but is this the best place to be? I have a situation where for years me and my best mate go to bookies in our lunch hour, I need to stop going without telling him my problem. Like you I only see the wins and think I know my cricket, like yesterday it was nailed on only to lose. Fortunately he’s off this week so I will go for walk instead. It’s 1st of the month today , so it’s a nice positive way to say lets go whole month without a bet . I woke up this morning and first thing I thought of was my loss yesterday. From reading loads of posts this won’t happen overnight but you’ve made a start by coming on here, don’t know about you but it’s just a relief to talk about it as I can’t to anyone else.
