I'm you are in a relationship then PLEASE PLEASE, watch this video to the end (I know it sounds very 'CZcamsry' but I think that this is important.
Thanks for watching, my name's Phil and I'm a former gambling addict. I make videos to share my experiences of gambling and talk about my recovery, abstinence and the challenges of quitting gambling. I also tend to ramble on about anything else that comes to mind and take great pleasure in dispelling some of the most common myths around gambling.

Part of the insanity of gambling is it makes you prioritise gambling money over what should be prioritised, so self destructive
It's often a turning point for people when the impact on their loved ones is made clear.
Hi Phil,
In my CZcams analytics I see one of my videos gets suggested by this video, how this works I have no idea but I am thankful and grateful so I’m here to like sub and comment to show my appreciation.
I can relate to everything you said today Phil. The hard reality and consequences of what you could of done with the money is difficult to navigate. This is why I don't gamble with what I have now and invest the time and effort into other projects. I do lapse, but is like a reset for me and can not cause any damage due to measures you always talk about.
Just as long as I don't relapse is the aim and not go back into the cycle of doom
It starts out with gambling disposable income then quickly your disposable income goes down month on month as you pay off loans and credit cards you've taken out to gamble more
This is my story also. I have also gambled away bill money for a whole month. It took me 5 months to catch up on the bills I didn’t pay plus the embarrassment of calling every creditor to make payment arrangements. Hopefully never again!
Brilliant video Phil
Did you ever get any big wins Phil, what was your biggest win, just out of curiosity.
Theres no point in trying to have a relationship if you are gambling compulsively, youre going to drag them into it.
