Hi guys,
Yesterday was the day I finally made the decision to stop gambling after many failed attempts in the last 5 years. This is my escape, coping mechanism, and I have ended up getting myself and my partner into debts we didn’t need. Now I am so angry with myself thinking we could have soooooo much more money each month than what we do if we weren’t paying these debts back because of my selfish stupidity… constantly chasing losses, getting wins and chasing more wins.. eventually losing it all. Why?!? Why do we do it?!?Â
I am scared of the mental withdrawal from gambling and wondering if any of you have any hints or tips of how best to combat the thoughts or how to distract my thinking to stop urges etc. any advice or support would be HUGELY appreciated!!Â
I am totally bricking it about this journey ahead of me ;(Â
thank you 🙏🏼Â
Hi there. Well done on starting your fight back what really worked for me was to be an observer of my actions like an out of body experience by disconnecting from this mode of operationÂ
After a short while you can see how destructive and basically idiotic you have become this will then let the real sound person you have always been to return stronger than ever
