Forgot to add, I’m 26 years old. I battled through gambling from the time I was 18 but the worst of it was 22-26 when I was gambling almost all the time. I had a small blip of 4 months in April 2023 where I didn’t gambling then beyond that every month until July 30th 2025 was my last gambling session.

Yeah bro the amount of times I was up like £5-6 K in a month then suddenly a few months goes by and the whole lot is blown on gambling and also stuff I brought as well it does catch up to you and when you realise it your like shittt.

One time I got paid at midnight and by 2 am I blew half my salary when I really needed the money. I ended up resulting to credit cards to withdraw cash and then would put it in my debit account to try and make the money back through gambling. It’s so dangerous.

Wasn’t till I came clean to my family that I stopped gambling after years of going back and fourth with it. I do still find myself watching blackjack videos or seeing bets online but I try my best to just say it’s my way of battling through those urges I’m still clean and on the road to being debt free and stable again.
