20 years of dirty gambling, lies, cheating, destruction, I have got to stop! Last bet was Christmas Eve and I've made these vows to stop so many times before and failed. I want to go 2017 without a bet, I feel foolish saying it as I can barely go a few days when I have cash. Its all a dream, stopping gambling for good is as much of a dream as the times I dream about the big win that will never come. I'm a worthless, lowlife mug punter who spends all his time in a bookies until all my money is gone. The pain I inflict on myself and others doesn't prevent me going back for more, the lies and cheating continue, the vicious circle never ends. I need a new path, I can't stick to a new path, I need a way out, I need to make something of my life.
Hello Henry and welcome.
You know I've probably read that post hundreds of time's before.
And I've probably said it to myself even more.
Repeatedly telling myself I couldn't do it. It wasn't couldn't
It was wouldn't do it.
It's not an easy task to quit gambaling. And anyone who believes it is I would question there addiction to gambaling.
But it's possible. But you need to want to change more than you want to gamble.
No doubt you have read around the forum and number one is giving away access to funds. That will restrict your ability to gamble. There's absolutely tons of things that you can use to help you along the road.
I get that you probably hate yourself right now. But you can learn to love yourself again.
Even societies worst get a chance at reform.
Your chance relies solely on how far your willing to push yourself.
It's stick or twist time
Stick and stay as you are on a certain path of destruction.
Or twist and see who the real person behind the mask of addiction is.
All the best
And welcome
Thanks Deano, nice to get some feedback, I need to twist and get back the old me from over 20 years ago. I will keep reading the forum and see if I can find some more help.
