Hi Everyone
This is my first day of quitting for good , they have controlled my life for a long time but no more . I am on the verge of losing my girlfriend . I should go to them places but i do i feel its a way to escape life and go there and no think about work and other things .Does everyone else feel like this or just been thanks for the help in advance
Yes, I haven't gambled for 19 days, it's quite a big thing for me going 3 weekends without a bet. I've always said in the past I was going to stop...just to please family members, but you can't! You need to do it for yourself.
The biggest help I'm having is handing over my bankcards. If I still had control off them. I probably would of had a bet by now, as will power isn't enough to beat this alone.
Put all the blocks in place that gamcare recommend, and just enjoy your life. Just remember the bookies never lose.
It's all about the escape for me, buts that's an illusion in itself. It's an escape whilst gambling but reality is never far away and our actions often make it worse
