      Where to start? What to say?
      For me  all started when a friend told me about online bingo. I’ve opened an account, deposited 10 pounds and, guess what? I’ve won. Almost  60 pounds in 10 minutes. Not bad i said, looks like easy money. Browsing the website during a game of bingo i’ve clicked on the slot section. They look great, it didn’t took long time to play ( compared with the endless number calling that you get in the bingo game), the bonus round was entertaining and rewarding. After a few sessions i was winning hundreds of pounds. For a few days i have always been on top until the moment came and i’ve lost. Based on the previous wining experience, i’ve made the worst mistake that anyone can do : I’ve started chasing my loses, trying to get my money back. What started as a fun 10 pounds deposit has become hundreds. Pay day, loose day. I’m working a full month, and as soon as i’m paid, most of the money goes back into slots because even when i win i’m not able to stop, and i end up loosing all. At the beginning of this year i’ve calculated the amount of money i’ve spent gambling in four years since the first deposit. The amounts are frightening  44000 pounds. Won 24000 back. That means i’ve lost 20000 pounds and at this point in time still have around 7000 pounds in debt. After wasting my money, i always end up using my mother’s income to cover the house bills. And that makes me feel ashamed. I want to stop this, but how? I’m confused
