I’ve been gambling consistently for about 10 years, few food runs of 2/3 months were I fully stopped. But keep going back to it and don’t know why? I feel like I don’t wana bet when having no money then I lend money and first thing I wana do when money in pocket is to bet? I’m running out of options I owe small amounts of debt 1-2k, my job can diver that in a few months but keep going back in this circle gambling others moneyÂ
Hi Frank, what measures have you taken to avoid it again? Would be interesting and helpful to others in this community to know if the tools available out there are helping you?
I don’t have no money left because I have been gamblingÂ
I have no friends who I can talk to I have been alone with no friends nobody is helping me out if I need money
Hi @2uzxt4jkh5
It would be encouraging for us all to know what your next steps are and what measures you've put in place? Unfortunately we have all lost money and some of us feel isolated, so it's good to come to this platform to share ideas and motivations. Keep going we love to hear your plan of action...
@oranje01 how long have u been gf i personally believe if i didnt relapse after lockdown which i take full responsbility for my actions i would have been 5 years g/f that relapse was my own fault i was doing so well i had no urgues and i could have easily prevented a relapse from happening, within the 3 years of gamble free i was barred from few place however i did have opportunity to gamble and i didnt i could have been clean for 5 years this is first time im taking full responsibility of my actions before it was a case of lossing now i dont want to win either i wish this happened sooner thats my only complaint i know i wont gamble just this new debts bothering me
Oh ok thought u might have quit a long time ago, those people who havent gambled for decades are the fortunate one i could have been in that situation, ive been gambling on and off since 2006 the early days i was hooked and i couldnt stop myself no matter what i did however i have improved over the last decade my issue isnt stopping its when i relapse i cant stop until i have had a loss and it happens everytime, i could have easily gambled today but i had no intention of doing so, you can say never and take one day at a time
Frank you are not alone dude, you can work your way out of this financially but keeping blocks in place and come ng back to the site will help you massively against this addiction we have.
