But it never is.if you win its just a lend really. Were all been scammed but addiction has us blind to this.stay strong everyone wish you peace of mind
Your right it is like a hangover, feeling sick and full of regret!
Weekends are easy for me, this one I'm working so don't have time and my weekends off I spend with the kids so don't get chance. Monday will be a challenge, kids back at school and I'm not in work, think I'll take my nana to do her shopping.
I stopped going to the gym because my Pilates class started at 10 o'clock an I dropped the kids at school for 9 and there was a casino close by so started going in there until it started until I ended up going in there instead of the gym and eventually couldn't afford my membership anymore! I've since banned myself and I'm going to sign up to a new gym that's nowhere near anywhere I can gamble.
Signed up to gamban yesterday so even more blocks in place, feeling positive today.
@j2nxf0khgl I can so relate to this! Only last payday, within just a couple of hours, nearly all of my hard earned salary gone! Then like you just adding more and more, knowing I would eventually lose the lot! I mean how crazy is that - telling yourself that you know you will lose it all if you don't stop but still going ahead anyway! Then that absolutely gut wrenching feeling in your stomach wondering how you are going to get through the next month without a penny! "Enough is most definitely enough" I told myself. That was on 1st April ' "April fools - no more the fool" This is now my mantra.
Stay strong and focused in keeping your hard earned money for better things.
