Hi all,
Not tried gambling since signing up for GAMSTOP, but have been thinking about my losses and it is getting me down. Got some unplanned bills coming in next month, if I hadn’t gambled the last couple of month I would have been able to pay them - instead I will need to get a loan. So this is eating away at me too. With Xmas coming up, there’s lots of expense s. I’m just hoping that the next year brings me happiness and I can put this whole mess behind me with no long term consequences.
Peter200 - it may be worth starting your own blogg as you may get more advice if you explain your story.
You just have to allow the thoughts of the blown money to be there,, remember that they are just thoughts they can not "eat away" anything or harm you,, the frequency of these intrusive thoughts will gradually dissipate with time,, put your time and effort into tasks that are meaningful to you and are inkeeping with your values.
Hi all,
So after over 50 days gf, I relapsed - again. Feel like c**P. Wanted so much for this year to be gf but couldnt even make it past Jan в№пёЏ.
Was a night out, and used my credit card at casino, lost £300 and went back next day to win it back - consciously went to the bank and took out the cash and lost it all. The only saving grace is that I’ve registered with Gamstop as the routine would been for me to gamble all night online to try win it back, and with online would have lost a lot more.
Gonna have to strengthen those blocks and start again. I hate feeling like this - why do we do it to ourselves.
Anyway, had to get that off my chest.
It’s amazing how this illness strikes when you least expect it.
Have to Stay alert and don’t get complacent.
