Hello all , im eddie 44 and today is my first day on "trying" to give up my destructive gambling habit. Im glad there are others here going through the same ( though i wish it wasnt you ! ) , so we all know how difficult things are but hopefully we will all be " past gamblers ". NO i mean we will be past gamblers !
It will be difficult for me today as this is my first day that im going to try and not place a bet . This is bloody hard as yesterday i lost all my wages of £470 apart from £10 ....and you know as well as i do my only way to recoup my losses is to try and win it back with my £10 - but im not going to do it ............im going to save my £10 i dont know what for yet but for something.
Anyway i wish you all gl and im now going to read some posts now.
Morning Eddie
Well done for making the first step. I would suggest reading they recovery diaries lots of great advise in them.
I personally have managed 200 days now and things are a hell of a lot better than they where back at day 1 where you are.
Give Gamcare a call it's good to talk to someone. Let us know a bit more about what you gamble on and we will give advise on the best way forward.
I wish you well and will check in later to see how you are doing.
