You will know that I have regularly posted here after loosing. Big loss at £49k 2 years ago and since then relapse after relapse trying to recoup some losses. Well, the day has come when I have won a jackpot on the slots. Finally recouped some of my losses. Finally it’s time to start over right? No… what did I do? That big win took 3 days to all go back to the slots. This has finally been the day I am free because no matter how much we win, we always want more. I have been depressed for a while but I have now processed my feelings and finally realised the way to move forward in life is to never gamble again. This time, I really think will work. I still have urges but I am fighting them everyday. There is really no point because whatever win we do get, will just make you want to win more no matter how much you tell yourself you will stop. I have now come to realise that I will live a full and happy life with my hard work and my wages every month. Why do we want to win money anyway? To buy more material things? They will not make us happy. It was hard to let go but what I really find useful is listening to the Minimalist podcast, they talk about living a simple life and how to let go… it really helped me processed everything and maybe it can help you too. Good luck everyone. My goal is to be gambling free this 2023 and for all the years to come. I finally feel free.
I always counted winnings as dirty money, meant to be wasted. Crazy really but even 1000's would be kept in a drawer awaiting the next casino or bookies trip.
