Hi all, well here I am....been a while coming. My issue has always been that I enjoy gambling but things have definitely changed lately. I've got out of c**P a couple of times but lately I haven't and I've put on big bets without enjoyment....that is surely telling me something. I am not in debt with it as such but tonight spent half my savings. (Not much TBF). Sounds silly but I fear that if I quit I have wasted 20 years of my life, I know it sounds crazy!! I also fear I won't enjoy things anymore! Hope someone understands? I need to focus my brain into something else but how do we get that buzz or sense of potentially winning money? Tonight I have to do something either way.Â
I've also started wanting a quick win and have lost most of my money on roulette! My luck has been awful and I keep putting the first two dozen bets on and losing. I have suffered so much with health and anxiety over the last year and need to do something I really do..
I too kept gamblied for 18 years and never got into debt lost my wages however i didnt think i was that bad has on rare occasions i did win i did spend a small percentage on stuff however i never really thought about my eye watering loses over the years my last relapse was awful as it was the winnings which triggered me to chase as i simply couldnt stop i somehow believed luck was on my side and i had motive once i hit a certain figure i will quit i believed in this lie i started putting bigger bets and in my head i had figures if i lose i will quit the gambling over took me as i was so frustrated i couldnt leave on a £0 that when i did the unthinkable and took a loan out to gamble and the way i lost i still think how did i do this to myself it was my wake up call since then. 722 days have passed and i am still bet free also debt free u have the opportunity to do the same minus the debt i use to think people were stupid to take loans out to gamble yet i did the same fortunately i didnt take the biggest loan which would have been alot worse for however in a way it what was needed for me to make these changes
