Facing the facts

Welcome rik
Apart from rehab have you been told about group's like gambalers anonymous. There free and you should be able to find one in your area?
Sounds to me like your playing with borrowed money which doesn't end well
That's a lot of payday loans in a short period
Have you thought about handing your financial control over to a loved one for a while. And setting up some blocking software. There's a fairly new one which is free called gamblock that will prevent you getting on to the sites. Should the urge to gamble come calling.

You can find the software by going to gamblock. Com

Hi deano808 I am currently using a iPad mini 3 to play slots on,gamblock only supports android not iOS.

I have tried to go to support meetings with GA only one the do in my area is on a Tuesday night and unfortunately I am unable to attend because I work permanent nights.

Can you travel to a daytime or weekend meeting?

Riksterone we must stop this madness. If we have no access to bankcards or cash its a good start.
Sinilarly to you iv just about used every single website going..have one alot ..(one day 7000) but 2-3 days later the 7k was gone...plus an overdraft and 3-4 payday loans but personal family friend loans ....even that didnt stop me. Think its day 3 for me only...can only approach this day at a time...will be some tough times ahead but i think each day theres a wee wee bit of light shining through that dark dark long tunnel

Hi Deano. You can download K9 blocking software for iPad - you just need someone else to set the password for you so you can't access it. Any blocks you can put in place only help things. You can do this, take it one day at a time. Good luck with your recovery.

Just got my wages this morning, gambled some,got lucky.

No chance of wagering anymore,set my limit.going to bank on Monday setting up a savings account.going to install k9 software at weekend.feeling clear with what I need to do for the future.

Just had another relapse lost 230 my weeks wages,can't pay my bills and car insurance.gf not happy,won 450 the other day why don't I just keep my winnings?.i would be ££££ up now hate the gambling bloody raging rhino!!!!..

When i read ur post about u 'got lucky' ...then u said u would get k9 ..bank monday etc...i must say i feared the worst....as iv been in that situation many times before..........and the same thing happened me where i gambled it back again...losing more etc.....but i never learnt so i aint gonna criticise u.

Get back on the saddle...every1 slips i think or meets trouble.....its how u bounce back!!!!!

Getting lucky? Or being offered the temporary return of a fraction of what you've spent?

You can't win because you can't stop.

Things would change if you follow the standard advice to keep the triangle broken and attend meetings and counselling. Luck has nothing to do with it. It's about your choices.
