Hi there.
I previously successfully stopped gambling in 2014. It felt AMAZING to no longer have to sweat it out on a random horse or a stupid greyhound to win to desperately earn back cash I had spent.
But I lost my control, something (cant explain what) happened this year though and I have relapsed. I made my last bet approx 24 hours ago and it was to chase back a big win that I had literally just lost by increasing stakes.. Putting myself back in CC debt that I had originally cleared. Thankfully, this is the only debt I've created through this and can be paid off in 1-2 years. But even still, that is a lot to me.
I have a great life and I really do enjoy life better without gambling. This is attempt number 2 to quit.
Hopefully I can be done for good. Any and all advice welcome.
Well you made the chat room. Keep reading the different diary pages. I'd recommend the Family and Friends section.
Hi Paul. Often when something bad happens in our lives we tend to do anything to escape from the pain. We as CG's turn to gambling and all logic goes out the window as our whole world is the current/next bet or spin or race etc.
Remember the feeling when you were off it? Amazing. Let's get that feeling back
