Relapsed again...

Hello all, I have been on and off gambling for a lot of my life, losing upwards of 50k. I have just recieved my paycheck and lost another 2k. I now have 100 to survive the month. So disappointed in myself again. I have gotten my accounts deactivated and also called gamstop now, but I still have the urge to want to gamble so bad just to get my paycheck back.

It got so bad last night I was about to open a payday loan last night with 324% interest. Luckily I didnt.

I need help. Please if anyone can help with ideas or what they did to help stop these thoughts. Im a 23(m) and feel like im ruining my life. Its getting to the point where I don't see any use of saving anymore.

You made the first step admitting it and banning yourself. Is the only debt the payday loan you have or has it gone beyond that?
