13 days GF

Glad your getting the help, it was the same with me, would spend thousands on sites but would not buy myself anything. 

Well done, you should maybe buy yourself those pair of jeans or anything as a little reward, don't be too hard on yourself and punish yourself. As a gambler I am usually always skint and never put my hand in my pocket when going out and expect others to pay, its a horrible feeling knowing I choose to lose money rather than buy myself something that I would like or not offering any money when out for meals and my partner or family usually pays. Now I haven't been gambling I have money and I am not going to waste it and use it to treat myself and partner whilst also clearing off debt. Sick of all the years wasted to this addiction it's time to get better, Good luck.

well done you.    day 5 for me

Well done my friend ! 

It is a horrible disease.  Only 2nd day for me GF . I don't know what to think about it .... Yesterday a thousand thought went through my brain . I did think about another bet , but I did not do it . I thought about the money I lost , and I can't believe it that this happened to me .... 

Same here my friend, I would never buy a nice clothes to myself or give £200 to my nephew, but instead I would spend £1000 on football bet over the weekend, this is just sick ! 

The best thing is , when I gambled and I won £400 , I promised to myself I will stick to single bets and I will make more money, I will beat the bookies.......

Then 1 day after I was placing bets 4 , 5 acca @8 or @10 to win more money, so basically to win £350 for £200 wasn't enough anymore, I wanted to win £900 for £200 bet  And always 1 game would let me down .... Why is that ???

Is it because we want more ???? 

Why I couldn't stick to the plan ?? 

Too late now for answer as I know if I try again and I have tried milion times... Would be the same story again. 

We only win if we stop 🛑 if you was going to gamble today £100 , put that money in a jar , then do it again next week and again and again..... Then look in a jar after 30 days and see how much money you save ! 

We can beat this together, all of us !

Today I am 13 days gamble free. 

I am taking it one day at a time. It is a battle but a battle I must win this time. No more excuses and crazy amounts of money being lost.

It is crazy to think that I would begrudge myself buying a pair of jeans at £50 but would happily lose 5k on gambling a day. 

I have 50k of loans and credit card debt to pay, each day is a day closer to being debt fee from this addiction. 

Thank you to everyone that supports me on here. 

You can do it mate always 1 day at a time am on day 598 days g/f getting closer towards the 600 mark keep pushing forward
