As I approach my 100th day gamble free, every day is a constant battle.Â
The brain was programmed to wake up, grab my phone & check the odds of football matches that were being played that day. Picking a team & then it mentally playing on my mind that I must get that £1000 bet on before kick off.Â
It’s totally madness looking back over the 7 years of losses of over 100k to think I was crazy enough to be placing 1k bets to win only £200 profit. What was the point? Why risk such a crazy amount of money with little reward?Â
I now live with the constant pain of massive losses & debts that play on my mind daily. However this addiction has to stop, for my health, for my family, for my job, for my sanity.Â
I am relatively young, so I still have time to put this right before I wreck my life completely. I have to stay disciplined  because I know this demon is still on my shoulder ready to pounce if I am feeling weak.Â
Stay strong guys ?
Stay strong! Today I am 229 days without a bet and I hardly think about it now...despite it being everywhere. I've paid off a fraction of my debt but it mow feels like I will get through this and now I'm working towards the day I'll be debt free. I love going to a shop and not panicking my card will be declined. Never knowing if I'll get to the end of the month. Please stay with it and stay strong. You've already come so so far xÂ
ive just done day 1 so the demon is currently punching me in the back of the head, rattling the cage.
Â
i made the decision to stop properly this time with actual help (just being here is a huge step for me) after losing a whole months money in a day yet again and actually looking back at how much money had come and gone through my bank with so very little to show for it
massive losses like yours but i was doing it 10/20 maybe 30/50 at a time, but i just wouldnt stop untill it was all gone... death by a thousand cuts
Â
its great to hear your coming up to 100 days it gives me some real hope ?Â
Â
Stay strong King, we got this ?Â
Constant daily battle of debts with me even tho I am not gambling but please fight the relapse dont relapse because of the urge to pay off stressing debts because u can end up in a worst situation keep fighting and working on ur debts
