I am new to this, and wanted to know the best way to get a handle on my gambling . I feel so frustrated with my inability to control things in my life. I hate myself for lying to my partner and throwing money away that i could use to improve our lives. I am stressed to the max and have done this to myself so expect no sympathy ! I make constant excuses about why i gamble . Can anyone help ?
Hi, I joined last night. I'd maybe try going to the diary section of the forum and read other peoples problems. I've every sympathy, its an addiction. For me and i'd say all people here would say its a unwanted addiction. Get as much as you can off your chest, I chattered to other members on here last night and felt a weight lifted off me shoulders and slept well last night.
I've also just joined tonight and again like you lie to my partner about my gambling problem. But putting a positive spin on it,you've joined and your not alone. I wish you all the best to overcome it and my only advice is too remember the feeling of loosing money,the lump in your throat,the sickness that won't go away the feeling your drowning and think I'm not going to do that to myself x
