I'm new, i can't cope, i'm done

Hi babyeric

Glad to hear you are in a much better place than you were earlier today, this forum, reading people's diaries and posts helps me a hell of a lot and keeps giving me that reality check to remind me of what gambling has done to me and my family ! As I keep saying my new moto is "it's good to talk and take it one day at a time". I shall look out for future posts and good luck for the future.

Just caught up with this thread. Oh my it just goes to show the power of support from your wife, family and members on here.

I felt very low and it was the early hours on here and was lucky to have posts from ODAAT and Hopeful Soul. Not easy when you are considering your life on this planet.

You are loved, and just a few hours talking has turned this around for you.

Stay strong, giving up the finances was the only way forward for me and I am so pleased to see you have that support.

Keep posting and make a diary. The support is so bonding here, it will see you through turbulent times

Hi, welcome and it's so good that you found this site when you felt so low. your wifes actions of returning after she had left shows how much she must love you and is willing to help and support you. The debts whilst depressing, they will eventually go but life is precious, you can do this, we are all walking and fighting this battle with you. Keep fighting the urges, sending you loads of strength and peace x

Baby Eric - mate I ended coming to gam care and setting up a account haven't gambled for 9 days now it's always the first week that I couldn't get over I'm past that and I've read the same stories on here times over and there's so many people in the same boat some far worst than others but reading there comments and stories has actually stopped the urges which I cannot believe I just wish it stays this way. Also whether you have a good job or not that don't take the pain it gives you when you lose thousands in one day I've been there don't it all I wanted to do was go home sleep and not get out of bed for work just hide away from it so gut wrenching, keep up what you doing get yourself on here reading other people's comments and diaries it will help you've done the right thing by coming here I wish you all the best mate I just wish I came here a few years back and felt how I do now which is no urges at all just by speaking to people who have had the same problem we are all in it together

Thank you everyone.

Today i have started my recovery diairy. I feel positive for the 1st time in a long time. Yesterday i had tablets in my hand and a note half written.

You all have your own stories, but i want you to know. Your story has led you to this website, your story led you to reply to me, your story and your reply saved my life yesterday. Your recovery saved my life.

If you ever have the want, thought of breaking your recovery, remember you saved someones life on the 30th January 2017

Good luck dan x I hope that your head clears soon and you keep determined in beating this awful habit x take care
