Massive crash - dont know why I do it.
Went out on Saturday got really drunk and blew 200.00 on the fobt , woke up Sunday really annoyed I had let my steady progress slip and then yesterday set about winning it back.
Won 100.00 on the horses through the day , then had a bad afternoon with work and the Mrs and turned to the FOBT to switch off , the daft thing was I got upto 180.00 winning should have stopped , then blew the lot and put in another 100.00 of my own , through the haze of the next two hours I won , lost , won , lost same old story and then suddenly my numbers dropped in twice and I had won back all the money I had lost even the 200 from Saturday , my head was a mess and I felt sick and dizzy , I managed to pull myself away and this morning I start day 1 afresh trying to build on the days and feeling better knowing I won back the money from my relapse , the scary thing is I know how close I am to self destruction and seems the smallest things trigger of a gambling maniac inside me
Hi mate have you thought about GA they are brilliant and putting you on th right track
That is the problem when our emotions get tied up in gambling. Gamble when we are happy, gamble when we are sad. Want to escape the world for a bit? We gamble.
The local GA only have one meeting a week and I cant get there on the night they have it.
Also a very rough and ready part of town and even the most hardened of guys have trouble.
