re-read your post from 08/07/15. Your new found happiness and relief from the turmoil of gambling

Don't fall back into the chains of addiction. ...
It will give you nothing....only take everything ...
No system is fool proof .....you know that deep down ....may work a few times. ...then the s**t hits the fan !
Imagine how you'll feel when it goes t**s up again..
Your choice....

Don't do it. Remember the dark days.

I wish there was a 'like' button, I would use for all of the posts for those who responded to TulsiT. Especially Samson's, I thought I'd unsubscribed from all of the emails I used to get with horseracing tips and found one I hadn't unsubscribed from one evening, checked the results and guess what all 5 of those horses lost. I used to bet £50 a tip so realised I saved myself £250 by not betting. As you say it is a random outcome, no one can possibly know if a horse will perform. If it is having an off day, falls over, gets stuck behind other horses, the jockey makes a mistake etc.

Thanks to all who responded. I managed to get through yesterday and today gambling free. All the comments above are spot on.

I forget about the mental stress I had with gambling as well as the obvious (lack of money).

I really want to stay gambling free. I usually see it for the madness it is but recently I've been sucked in to some of the "talk". When I was a gambler I was full of it. I'd tell everyone of my wins but never mentioned my losses.

Thanks again. Here's to more level headed days.

Don't do it, the losses out do the winnings

Well done in not giving into the urges, you have come so far don't give in ever x I can only say how I've felt in th last 55 days and it's like I've been reborn, every thing is so much better. X

Don't do it, you know it's utterly pointless. I didnt have a bet for years then lost it this summer, lured back in by all the 'free' bet offers and having won a little bit I've recently experienced the farmiliar anger, frustration, anxiety, regret and all the wasted time and energy. I'm getting back out with a small loss of money but a huge amount of wasted time. When you win the feeling of happiness is short lived and you know it's inevitable you'll end up losing, so much so that I think when you're winning you don't even feel happy to have won, just relieved to have not lost.

813 days is great, keep going, there really isn't anything to gain by going back.

I watched YouTube videos of problem gamblers telling their story's. One story of a lawyer in America whom would gamble $100,000 and be up $180,000. Then one night he had a brown out, which is not remembering what happened. He lost 2.1 million dollars to the casino. He couldn't pay it back and lost his house, cottage, cars and his job as a lawyer, he almost went to jail for not paying his debt.
