I am back after having a bad time betting over the last couple of months.
I completed 147 days gamble free earlier this year then it got me again.
I lost alot and was bailed out by my dad then I had the nerve to bet again.
I have suddenly found the willpower to start a new diary and stop again.
This has to be my final time as I need to get on with my life without the risk of losing everything, my girls and wife.

Hi Mba
I lapsed many times before I finally managed to break my addiction to gambling. I have now been gamble free for two years and what I did was to make sure that everytime I fell down, I got up stronger.
My life has improved on so many levels over the past 24 months that I would not have thought possible before and because of that, I know that I never need to gamble again. I didn't just give up gambling, I think I changed some of my attitudes and became a better person and, as not gambling makes you a better person anyway, the improvements in me and my life were compounded and continue to this day. I now have time to think, whereas when I thought before it was of gambling; I have time to do things, when before I spent my time gambling; I have money to spend.
If I could take what has happened to me and put it in a bottle, it would make me a millionaire, but that is what I thought gambling would bring me. I don't think about what I might have or don't have. I try to appreciate and cherish the things that I do have and I realise that I looked too hard to try to find something that I already had, I just didn't recognise it.
I wish you well, gambling can be very addictive and breaking the addiction can take time, but it gets easier. My biggest help were the blocks that I put in place to stop me gambling when I was at my most vulnerable.

Try hard, first of all, for your self, second of all for your kids, to be proud of you and after some years you will see your self so good . Its something totally worthit every sacrifice you have to go throw...Just one day more, some days, more, it will be years, and with that money you will have a fantastic vacation with ur family. I really wish you that
