Hi All
I have today lost £50 and feel annoyed with myself it is not a lot but I felt like getting my credit card and withdrawring money and gambling.
I have lost several thousands over the year, I am okay and not in any big debt due to gambling I have paid it off but i still get urges and when I lose I am feel so bad. I am 41 and have been gambling since I was 18 but has stopped and restarted.
How can I stop I get so bored.
Take it from one who knows get help.
This is a progessive illness.
find something to fill the void sport computers nightschool anything.
Things can and will get worse if you dont stop
Sorry the be so blunt.but you have a chance to turn it around do so save your future.
Boredom is a pain but compared to distroying your life you can learn to live with it.
Like marco says, find something. Anything.
Gambling is not good entertainment. Least that's what they keep telling me it is. lol
Hello smk1, sorry you are still struggling with occasional bouts of gambling. You don't say what kind of gambling you have a problem with. But, there are things you can put in place so that when you do feel the urge, it's harder to give in to it. Why don't you give us a call on the Helpine on 0808 8020 133? It's free from mobiles and landlines. Or there's the Netline if you prefer to chat online. Both are open from 8am to midnight every day.
