Need to stop the insanity.

Hey daz join us on the challenge I too have similar problems and am five days clean so far it's hard but it's actually getting easier day by day x the 2014 challenge is in the third forum down (help for problem gamblers ) I find the journal is helping bit what helps a lot is on the first page write down how you feel or felt after losing and what you could have done with it instead and that helps too x plus this forum does help x knowing we are not alone or embarrassed here x good luck

Thanks for the reply Shortie I've posted in the challenge thread. I'm feeling a little better just for having posted here, really got to learn from what I've done and forget the money - one thing I'm certain of is it's gone for good.

Good luck to you as well 5 days clean seems like a year to me at the moment.

Hi Daz and welcome

You have rung a bell with me when you said depressed after winning or losing.

After 7 years of gambling online started with bingo and then 1 slot I realised around 2 months ago I did not feel anŷ different if I wonorlost just that same depressive and panickŷfeeliing

So why did Icarry on thebuz of winning had gone I then knew I had a serious problem still playing .

I wish you all the luck in beating this

Best wishes Suzanne x

Thanks Suzanne I'm determined to beat it this time and it really helps that people like yourself take the time to reply. I don't feel quite so alone anymore.

It's one of the weirdest things for me as well why did I not stop when even winning made me feel so bad. I guess it's all part of the problem I've got.

Thanks again and good luck to you as well.

So true Suzanne. Used to get immense high even at thought of gambling then last few months nothing. Only chuffed if won my money back so of course would carry on then as felt immune to losing. Then cheesed off when balance down to dilch!! Thank you for your support on my diary. Am determined to be up there with you winners! Mary x
