Hey,Ā
I never gambled in the past. The last year or so I started gambling a little. Not much though.Ā
Then my friend died and around the same time I found out a family member had a gambling addiction. After this I started gambling loads more and itās all I can think about.Ā
Iāve slowed down a little now but I still feel s**t that Iāve let it take over me. Iām sure itās all related but Iām generally feeling happy in life so itās confused me.Ā
am I just wanting more money in life or am I numbing the pain or chasing a feeling?Ā
thanks xxĀ
Hi,Ā
Gambling doesnāt just happen, there is always a reason and lead up to it.Ā
Itās a great form of escapism so youāre probably just trying to block out those emotions you donāt want to deal with.Ā
Eventually, it wouldnāt matter how much money you won, you wonāt be a winner and you wonāt be up because youāll put it all back in again. You could bet the value of a house, win double and still want more.Ā
if you want to stop, then get all those blocks in place and seek some help / advice.Ā
I gambled all day and everyday and never thought Iād ever be able to stop. But as of today I am 273 days gamble free.Ā
Good luck on your journey,

Just need to stop put all the blocks in place gamban gamcare and most importantly if you use the bookies moses if in uk .your own self esteem of saving the embarrassing effect of using moses and then trying to enter a bookies only to be ejected will be suffice and even if you manage to go under the radar and manage to win it will flag up on their facial recognition especially at l*******s and you will be escorted from the premises with not one penny win lose or draw as you have broken your pledge in legal terms not to enter the premises to gamble .their is only one winner when don't gamble and that is you .its not worth the devastating toll on your life it only brings mental and physical symptoms also .and by the off chance you do win.its only ever a loan from them to you .oh believe me I have been their got the t shirt so please put the blocks in place their is only only one winner and its not the gamblerĀ
