Only day two gf but I’m starting to think about placing a cricket bet tommorow! Am thinking I could limit myself to a day or two a week.
Hi, assume you have ended up here because you know you have a gambling addiction. Sorry, but the only way to recover in my opinion is to stop completely. You may think differently but as an addict I know that a single visit to a gambling site would result in many more bets and result in serious losses.Â
Everyone is different and it may work for some like that. I have thought this alot over the last week since becoming gf but thankfully I put the bans in place, I know for me one would soon turn into two and I would spiral from there. Fingers crossed whatever you choose to do will be the right choice and will work for you.Â
I've also thought about trying to restrict myself to just a Saturday or only gamble on a single sport but after a short period of gambling in like this I would always be drawn into chasing losses and betting in-play etc, don't get me wrong it could work for some people but for me personally it's all or nothing and now I'm finally in the mindset where I know it has too be nothing, good luck.
Thank you everyoneÂ
I’m feeling in a stronger mindset this morning I know deep down this will only lead to more bets after if I win or lose I really have to beat this now to give my little girl a better life!
I watched the paul Merson documentary last night Bbc i player on his lifetime of gambling definitely helped.
