Hi my name is Bri and this is the first time I have been on this site or considered I may have a problem.
Although I am not at rock bottom I realised I may be on my way.
Gambling has been such a large part of my life for the last 38 years and the biggest problem is
I love the contest.
I go for long periods without betting even when I have plenty of cash but when I go to the shop I lose myself in the gambling, I can forget my problems and if I dont back winners I can and have lost thousands in a day.
Today I took a few hundred off my credit card which I have never done before to gamble and that has been a rule I have stood by all my life , never borrow to bet.
The big problem is I cant see life without the gambling fix I use when Im down.
Help what should I do? It seems such drastic action to abstain from betting.
