I'm Glad I've joined this Site. I have a gambling problem I really want to Stop. It all Started 4 years ago. I was I was gambling on roulette ВЈ20 - ВЈ50 here and there nothing big...for Some reason I can't remember why but I joined up betting Site BET 365. I thought there is Very Easy money to make. I had Saving of around ВЈ13, 000. I thought If I just do small bets ВЈ50 here are there I can't LOSE as I can always Double up my Stakes if I lose. I can remember Winning ВЈ800 in about 3 weeks. Then I thought to myself i would win and win more and more. This is What gambling does the Winning makes you think you can carry on Winning. I was ВЈ800 In profit. The ВЈ50 stakes would not feel like a lot so I Started doing Higher Stakes . I'd lost all my profit in Space of a few bets. I remember being down ВЈ1000 out of my own pocket. Chasing that 1000 I Lost all Of Money in 2days. The Worst feeling Of my life I felt Sick and couldn't sleep for weeks. It Took me a long time to get over. My family found out I felt really low that I could do this to them I promised them I'd Stop and it was just a Stupid habit. I've never been Able to Stop fully. The money I Lost I can never forget about. Each year since I guess I Lost about £3- 4grand Betting on roulette and sports betting This year another 3000. Ive Realised I'm an Addict I need to STOP.

Hi @gigary ,
you are posting on someone else's older thread. You can start your own thread either in New Members Intros or when you're ready in Recovery Diaries. This way it is easier for others to find your posts and engage with you.
In general we advise to try and let go of the losses because the thought of the money lost can exercise a strong pull to carry on gambling. I appreciate it is easier said then done, but it would be worth trying.
Wishing you all the best in your recovery,
Eva
