I turn 44 next month and I still cant control my gambling, I've been gambling since early teen years and here I am still gambling and losing everything I have. I've recently just been thinking that I should just except this as this is who I am. Sad

ok, that would be a good step.

As tough as it is, just for tonight, turn off your internet, drink some water, take a shower and get some sleep - wake up tomorrow and write down 2/3 small steps that you will achieve tomorrow

As c**P as you feel right now, as low as you might be feeling, you can use today as the catalyst for improving your life, you are an addicted gambler, but you no longer gamble..

keep us posted once youve called tomorrow and go get that sleep!

I know it's hard and very early on but the money has gone, you can't spin anymore, the wins were never wins but the losses were real, watch some tv or read a book then, stay offline and if you need to write yourself a list now

Yeah apologies for the doom n gloom, I'm sure once I've slept my head will be in a different place.
