I think about gambling every day. That is the truth. I am thinking about it now. But I won't bet. I want to change and I am going to get my life back. Wishing everyone on here the very best.
Hi Jane
Proper freaky that we stopped on exactly the same day, and was betting pretty much the same amounts. You can do it, it's not easy but 100% can get rid of this stupid addiction.
Hi there. It's got to be done this time. I have "quit" so many times before and undone all my hard work, relapsing time and time again. Every time makes it harder to pick yourself up again, but I will not stop until I beat this. The most I have ever done is 6 months without gambling. I did this last year, following one of my worst sessions yet. It made me so angry that I did not even want to hear the word gambling.
Trouble is, time went by and the pain was forgotten. Things started to look positive again, but so did the idea of betting again. I am going to better what I did last year, get to 6 months and then keep going. That's the plan.
It 100 percent is not a pretty one, its hard to live with the losses, but gambling will definately not recoup any losses. I gambled on mainly slots and roulette, always online mainly and would chase the big hits, trying to emulate YouTube streamers, then I was getting loans £7500 then £15,000 and all the other money I had and CC's all flushed away on mad gambling binges. I hit rock bottom on August 13th and havent gambled a penny since, ive just researched and tried to understand addiction and why I became so engrossed in a dream, for what a ball spinning hoping for it to hit the jackpot numbers but please stay away from 34,35 and 36 the death numbers increasing stakes all or nothing in the tier section, a trapped fool welcomed by the hidden online world who loves the addict, here are 10 free super spins we like you so much. I joined Gamcare on the 13th, 79 days ago and look at those numbers as winning now and not a roulette wheel, tomorrow 80 and 21 days till the ton is up, 1 day at a time. You can stop Jane and you can leave it behind for ever.
Yeah, the debt sucks, but you're right, we have to move on. Dwelling on losses only means more will follow. Being out of control is so scary. You lose sight of what you are about. It's like someone else is in the driving seat, doing 90 down the highway, and you have no control whatsoever. Now it's time to open my eyes.
Best wishes.
i Hi...Just wanted to say ...your story sounds exactly like mine...
I've been gambling for 9 years...don't seem to have any will power to stop. The voice keeps saying 'this time you will win big'. I just can't get over what I've lost and don't like the person I am. It takes over too much of my life....I hope you have remained gamble free...
