iv just been introduced to the site and this is my first post.i’ve been gambling for the past ten years but more heavily in the last four years.i almost exclusively bet on horse racing and often gambled my salary . as my addiction got worse i was increasing my stakes which led me to embezzling £60000 from my employer to fund my habit.the shame of those actions will never leave me and i have still to face the criminal consequences in the coming months.i thought there was no hope for me as my love for gambling dictated my life completely to the exclusion of everything and everyone else in it.then through a gamcare care councillor i learned of the gordon moody project and i have spent the last three months completing their course in beckenham.i cant speak highly enough of the staff and the support offered here which has given me strength , hope and a moral compass again.i know when i leave on friday that there will be many challenges ahead but i go believing i have a real chance of dealing with them and succeeding in having a gambling free life.don’t pull the trigger!!
