i am trying to see ways to stop

i am struggling
the thoughts of gambling keep going around in my mind.
my friend who gambles with me always lends me money its not her fault but she is an enabler.
I want to self exclude but im afriad ive been going to the same place for years and made friends there and when i cant deal with life that is where i go
i am afraid i cant beat this illness
please help me
Hi Moinka,
Stick to your guns, im also on Day 1 (again) my first day one ended up in yet another loss and even more debt. Please don't go back down that road.
Im now trying to think about i felt at my worst, after i deposited and lost that last lot of money, if i keep thinking about those feelings, i tell my self i don't want to feel like that again.
I've sat down now, gone over it all in my head, worked out a payment plan to repay my debts, so now im not only going to be counting down my gamble free days, but also looking forward to a debt free life.
You can do the same, we don't need gambling ruining our life anymore.
Good luck x
