You are giving yourself a false hope, playing demo mean you getting yourself ready to put yourself in fire again. Myself after losing first time i gave the same false hope to myself that i will just play demo whenever i get urges, after playing demo it turned into real money then big disaster was waiting for me. Keep giving yourself false hope and dont take real measures, i can guarantee you that you will be back here for the same reason or maybe worse in future.
George I've been there mate... Too many times... Always ends in disaster... The only way is to block all sites and self exclusion.. My main problem has been time on my hands and then the urges start and before you know it I'm at it again... Then regret it terribly.. Hold on to how rotten you feel now and use that... There's no such thing as I'll just play for fun or small stakes then stop.. It never happens and if you are honest with yourself you know that's true... If bored or urge hits you take yourself out.. Even just for a walk and think about it logically.. And clear your thoughts... There's a reason we are on this site... We all feel filled with regret about how we have wasted our money and the problems in our lives this has caused... Be strong DONT entertain the idea it'll just be for fun... This is called denial... We have an addiction and that's it! reject this miserable addiction and say NO MORE.. Take control again... Good luck
Hi guys I already feel like I want to play, every time when it's something wrong in my life that's what makes me to forget about everything else! I hope I will be strong an I will stop thinking like that and I stop gambling!
Hi again George... You will have urges to gamble.. I can only tell you please don't give in to them feelings.. It's giving into them that's led you to this site.. Keep telling yourself you want a future.. And a life without this soul destroying addiction.. I've only been stopped for 5 days now and that's due to not having a penny to gamble with.. But I have taken steps to make a move away from it.. Blockers self exclusion.. Everyday I reinforce my intention to get my life back in order.. Because I'm sick of this constant cycle of working hard for my money and just throwing it away... Stay strong fella.. You can do it.. But be honest with yourself.. Don't kid yourself it'll be Ok and you'll only play for fun..it won't happen mate.. Steer clear of all temptation..
