You may have seen my confession on here yesterday about having a gambling prob, and because of that I haven't been able to pay off my debts (in my sig) Anyway, I have just logged onto the gambling site today as I know I had £60 in there, normally, I would have been up first thing this morn to play with it as I have just lost another whack of money and £60 is just a drop in the ocean! Anyway, I logged on and withdrew it immediately without even looking at something to gamble on and it will be back in my account on monday. My 1% of debt is £30, however, because I just threw away half of decs pay on this site, I do actually need that to live on, otherwise I will have to use the CC again this month! So, first beg step done, logged on, withdrew money so its back safe in MY POCKET! Feels good.

Well done pal.
i sought help for my gambling addiction last April and i'm now 9 months down the line without a bet. Keep it going.
Can i just suggest that you get someone to close your betting accounts down and also as a back up get the software on your computer (k9) to block those sites so that you cannot access them if you feel the need to bet in the future.
wish you all the best!!0 -
