I remember one Wednesday, getting home from work and crying and shaking in the kitchen because I knew I had to gamble. “It was all I thought about: gambling and how to pay back my debts. “It’s impossible for a rationally healthy person to understand, but I was in this bubble and couldn’t escape,” she says. She used up all her savings, wages and any other money she could lay her hands on.
By the time Nancy sought help she had spent £75,000 on gambling and was £25,000 in debt.
