Today I realised and admitted to myself that I have a gambling problem.. I had convinced myself because the bills are paid and there is food in the cupboards then it cant be that bad… but thats only because I make myself prioritise these things so my family wont notice somethings up. I get paid, sort whats needed and then every spare penny goes on the slots.. to the point where I have laid awake waiting to be paid so I can plau them.
I told myself I just enjoyed playing it..like a video game. And I can stop anytime.. its not a problem.
Well laying awake all night wanting to scratch your own eyes out because you dont have a penny left isnt fun.. and it is a problem.
Im hoping by finally admitting it I can start recovering. Ive self excluded on gamstop, downloaded gamble site blocking software and am going to give this my all.. I feel so embarassed and ashamed with myself
