hi all i did post on my the forum yesterday but as someone pointed out to me there is a new members intro page and I should post on there ( thanks ). So it's day two and the second day without having a bet for over a year. Been gambling for around 25 years now but only in last few years it's become a problem. It started just on a Saturday with a fiver then came the internet and that's when the trouble started , after a few years and getting my credit card to the limit I cancelled all my on line accounts and since then it's only been bookies manly football but some horses. Yesterday was not that hard really not having a bet not looking at my phone every few minutes to see if anyone has scored, last night I actually enjoyed it cause i actually took interest in my daughters home work and sat watching the tv with my wife, where as I would of been on the I pad looking at the scores. I know that because of betting it is putting a strain on my relationship and my work and really am a miserable b*****d (and I wasn't like that ) my health is an issue and if I don't stop I know I could end up dead. Been reading a lot of your messages on here and I now know I'm not the only one with this problem.
You certainly are not alone, take it one day at a time, every day without a bet is a success ! X
Thanks Heather 67 it's gunna be a long road but it will be worth it I might start feeling like a human being again.
