Hi everyone, i am a new member! And this my story . I have a very good job with very good income and i have wasted so much money on roulette machines and whatsoever. It started almost 13 years ago and i only managed to give some break time to time but when i returned playing i lost more..i dont want to loose a penny anymore , please help me somehow.. I have very good position at work and helping many people , now i need help.. Thank you for listening
Hey, I'm
New too, joined today, I'm addicted to the slots although it's all the same.
I'm In debt and don't want to lose anymore of my money or my life to gambling.
I'v not been on an online gambling site for a while now, and I'm finding it okay, although I'v been here before many times and relapsed and lost everything I'v saved in days.
This time I think feels different though, and I'm determined to never make the mistake of ever trying 1 last bet ever again, because it always leads to full blown gambling addiction again.
When was the last time you gambled. Message any time you want, hope your doing good and glad your here and wanting to put gambling to an end
I don't know if this will help either
But here's one of the things I have done that's has helped me out when i get that urge to gamble.
last time i blew it and gambled and spent all my money that I needed to get me through the month,
I wrote on my phone how I felt, that night when I was in bed after getting off the laptop
I wrote on it that I felt physically sick, that I hate myself, that I can't sleep because I can't afford to get through the month and I don't know what to do to fix it, and that I can't gamble anything else ever again
Well I snap shotted that and it's currently set as my wallpaper background for my phone, I'm with my phone all the time so I always have to see it when I use my phone for anything and it really does help a lot to remember how I felt that night.
It's so easy to block out how you feel when you have lost everything when you want to gamble, you full your head with reasons and justifications to gamble rather than why you shouldn't.
And having that reminder on my phone ALL the fricking annoying time has really helped me. So just wanted to share.
Thank you for replying m8, last time i gambled was yesterday morning and this time i played online poker and lost about a grand:( normally i dont play poker.after i lost i blocked my acc on **** poker and actually b4 i stopped many of my acc online..it helps.last thursday i played in roulette machines i was up in one week about 3000 and i gave them all back in 2 hours..i feel so sick after as i always felt when i loose.. But enough is enough since yesterday morning i am free of gambling and i ll update u regularly how i am doing..so how r u? How are u feeling now and hoe long has it been since u played last time?
3 full days gone and i feel very good do far , without gambling and keeping myself busy at gym..i hope more days to feel like this .. Life is so good without given money to bookies:) they lost a customer 😉
I know its still early days but tomorrow will be one week gamble free:) hopefully weeks months to come.i am succeding keeping myself busy at work and gym..and reading other peoples stories i hope everyone get rid of this illness..
Day 9 🙂 all good..come onnn
Well done to you, you should be proud! I can't wait until im on 9 days! Day 0 for me!
Believe me time flies, dont be angry to yourself and be proud as u r here .!! It shows that u want to heal yourself like all of us! U r not alone my friend , hopefully we will all beat the devil..my advice to u is find sth to keep yourself busy. I started to gym with a friend who doesnt know anything about gambling n never gambles. Find sth that will keep u busy.. Take care of yourself n please tell me when its 9 days and hopefully more..my heart with u
Thank you very much, i'll take your advice and let you know when i'm on day 9! I've done it before i just need to learn to do it for good this time and learn that a gambler can't just have a flutter! Take care yourself and keep it up 🙂
