Help - Gambled £800

I'm almost 20 now and I Gambled 800 pounds recently. I feel so bad and crazy. I have stopped now completely but I still feel so bad. Can someone make me feel better somehow because I'm going out of my mind and will never ever gamble again. It's only 800, right? 😭

Theres a chart room and forum.

If you have stopped and learnt your lesson then you have got away cheaply.
Find alternative ways of using your time.
Draw a line under it and dont make it worse.
Start cutting back and if you can get a job.

Dont beat yourself up.
Make it hard for it to repeat and cancel subscriptions or opportunities for gambling.
If you cant trust yourself then tell someone to keep an eye on you.

IMPORTANT DO NOT GO CHASING YOUR LOSSES AS IT WILL END UP BADLY.

Don't beat yourself up - I used to be really bad into gambling a few years ago. Every Saturday and Sunday me and my OH used to get up and easy gamble atleast £200 each on both days. Thankfully I very rarely do it now - maybe once in a blue moon and only small amounts
