I'm so tired of relapsing

Hi there

Late in December i admitted to my wife thatbi was gambling so much. My addiction got to the stage where i was actually stealing from so many family members to fund my addiction. 

It was such a huge moment for me to come clean. I lost my job because of my gambling . I am now in a new job and due my first wage at the end of the week and the thought of having all this money again scares me.

I am now 75 days gamble free and before i struggled to go 75 minutes without making a spin on the online slots. 

You can do this and you can beat this. Having Gamban installed on every device in mynhome has helped. And registering witn gamstop is a good route as well. 

Good Luck

i am feeling the same every week i think i can win and get ahead or win back my losses every week i go to the betting shop and lose all my money. I have stopped myself from gambling online through gamstop but i stil cant bring myself to self exclude from my local bettibng shop ..i suppose i still think i will get lucky and recoup my losses its very tragic .

Gamstop simple as that. 
Without sounding harsh, you clearly don’t want to quit enough, otherwise you would sign up to this & ban yourself from bookies. 
Confused why therapists haven’t demanded you do this? 
You have got to help yourself or you stand no chance 

@c17ort I have used Gamstop (and Gamban) ages ago. There are other ways of online gambling that get around Gamstop.

@nlynch91148 As someone who used to work in IT, Gamban unfortunately doesn't prevent me from gambling! Thank you for the inspiration though, I'll keep this in mind. 

@goat You have to have the dedicated, determination & desire to want to quit. 
Without that you can speak to any therapist & it will make no difference because you relapse. 

Time to face up to your addiction & hit it head on, I’ve lost over 100k in 7 years and if you don’t want to quit enough then you never will. 

Time to man up, pull yourself together and beat this horrible addiction  

@goat obviously each person who is struggling with this illness has to find what works for them. What works for me wont necessarily work for the next guy. Its just a vicious circle
