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
When did you last gamble? what's your go to method?
Been gambling all day, only stopped as I lost the lot
Gonna give the helpline a call tomorrow and get some counselling.
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!
Cheers bud. Won't can sleep just yet as every time I close my eyes I see spinning reels

We don't tolerate people putting themselves down around here! We all understand as we have all been where you are !
Take CG's advice (he knows)!
Online slots is my vice...if you want to share more about your story we are all hear waiting to listen without judgment.
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.
Affected by gambling?
