Ok I've realized that boredom is the problem to my gambling issues
If I'm bored I'm thinking about the bookies and playing on the fobt machines
my answer today has been tidy my house, iron and get things looking good
You get better satisfaction that going to the bookies once it's done
it's hard but I keep thinking to myself I would only be in the bokkies for ten minutes so that's not exactly a boredom cure
I'm getting better each day
i have the same problem hun boredom and loneliness i am in a long term relationship have 2 children a good family but i cant speak to any of them they would not understand the school hours are the worst esp since my youngest song has just started full time school i am used to running around all day and now once my house work is done i am alone and bored so i log in spend money i dont have to occupy my mind and speak to other adults i am on day one and all i can think about is gambling i hope it gets easier and i hope you do really well
all my support

Thanks kel
Luckily i don't touch online betting thank goodness
I've always been a bit superstitious when it comes to that and only ever go inside a bookies plus certain bookies have the rights to my fave slots, I can't name them as it'll get blocked on here
it used to be i would take 10 in and stake 20p a go, but the returns weren't great, at present in
On 50p to a 1 stake at a time hoping I'll get on the feature game (board) then win enough to cover my losses and I tell myself I'll leave then and in all honesty I DO leave once I'm up but only if it's 40/200 up, I've just got that urge to keep going until I win my loss of 209 back then I'll quit, it'd be easier if someone just gave me the 200 lol
