Hi all,
I had to write on here. This is day 1 for me again. During the Summer time I had won money and enjoyed treating friends and family the way I have never been able too.Â
I don't have a good portray of myself and think people don't like me so when I gambled it was something that took my stress away.
Fast forward a last week I felt very depressed. I had gambled online and click after click my amount got lower until I used it all. I was in shock and my whole body went like ice.Â
I thought it wasn't worth continuing on as I was so scared to tell anyone incase I had nobody.
I woke up at 2am and couldn't sleep so I opened my heart to my twin sister and she is everything I want to be-kind, caring always has a positive outlook.
She seemed sad at first but talked me through everything and helped me out. I felt sick today but having her know makes me feel I can now talk to someone.
I haven't gambled today and tonight will be day 1. Before I lasted 6 years..I know I can do this.
Â
You can definitely do this. Day 1 is the hardest for sure!! Well done 🎉Â
Day 7 and I am getting there. still down but still have money in my account. I wouldn't if gambled.
Hi all I am now on day 16. I found today I felt bit sad and depressed. I still wish I hadn't thrown away my winnings and just stopped when I did. Suppose today I have my wages if I still gambled id have nothing so I have to stay positive x
