I'm addicted to online slots. I've lost a huge amount of money and am obsessed with thoughts of how to claw some of it back without gambling again. I'm embarrassed, ashamed, miserable, and ultimately can't believe that I've created such a financial and emotional mess, and in such a short space of time.
Gambling is a bug - it's a parasite that eats away at you. I need to get over this. I need some help.
Hi
Dont go chasing your loss. You will only lose more and feel lot worse that u do now I know I've been there . Just to get yourself calm and thinking clearly . I know how it feels to let everyone down and especially yourself . But things will be ok . Fight the feeling when ever u get it and try keep busy doing something that had a reward at the end of it . I've been gambling 15 year and only when I have lost nearly everything have I decided to stop . I'm now 5 days free and I'm nearvous for the next few day cause it pay day soon
.
Hi. I too am a couple of days into a new way of life and the scariest thing for me right now is the change I know I have to go through. But Milo's right , you will have to fight the urge to gamble , gambling got us all to where we are now and having another bet won't get you out of trouble , only deeper in , Youv'e taken a giant leap forward just bye being on this site , so give yourself a big pat on the back for that alone , Just take one minute , one hour or one day at a time and you will be fine . try and look forward not back , whats done is done and none of us can change it but you can change tommorow . Got to go now but Good luck with that future of yours ,
Thank you.
Little steps...
I was also addicted to online slots! I haven't added up how much I've lost as I'm scared too and doing so would just make me more depressed anyway!
I'm on my 3rd day gamble free,trying to sort all my debts out so I can pay them off.
You can do it,I dont get paid until the28th and I am skint,but I do have a credit card just sat there that is so tempting but you just have to think,so we work so hat to put our money on a no win situation?!
I'm recent weeks I've started gambling again . Yesterday I lost enought to buy my g/f x mas present . I feel s**t and I'm thinking of ways that I can afford to get her the present she wants . She doesn't ask for much at all . She helps me any way she can . So today at 15.00 I will be doing the 100 day challange . My last bet was yesterday 4/12/15 at 15.00 .so today is day 1 . I'm going to try do this .
