Im struggling to spend money

Hiya zlime. I just read your comment to my problem and i will repsond to that in a bit. Now about what you have just said... I can relate to you in someways. Funny enough, this morning i spent £150 online, buying a few pair of jeans and some t-shirts and a a few shirts and i hated the feeling of parting with my money, and what was the first thing i said to myself as soon as i pressed the Buy button?... I need to get that money back over the next week or so and win a few bets on the football. I am always short of clothes and basic needs and when i have to part with my money i always want to get that money back with a bet. When you play roulette, do you play online?.. The thing with me is.. I can't get my head round that the money i bet online with is real money. I know that sounds dumb, but to me It's just numbers on a screen. It's virtual money, and that's why i end up lumping easily £200, 300, 400 on a single bet. I've never walked in to a bookies and parted with more than £20 on a bet and even then i won't go to the bookies again for a few week. It's weird how when i have money in my hand in notes i have a totally different attitude to when it's just numbers on a screen. Sorry, i'm going off your subject a bit here. Anyway, going back to the jeans and wanting to get that money back on roulette.. Hold out and don't give in to temptation and maybe the feeling will pass. I'm trying that now. Like i said, i bought csome lothes this morning for a total of £150 and i'm not going to put any money in my bet account to try and win that money back. My brand new clothes will arrive today and i'm going to enjoy my treat and not give into trying to get that money back because i know in the long run i will lose the money i put into my bet account and i will feel like c**P again. I think in another day or two the feeling will pass and i won't be worried about trying to win the money back i have just spent on clothes. We will see though.

Yeah I bet online and also like you it doesn't feel like money to me either. Like I would never go into a real bookies and bet, and I couldn't even begin to imagine all my money in cash. Maybe I should withdraw it all from an ATM but that would be a nuisance. Hmmmm. The roullette is just so addictive to win double your winnings so easily, even though if I carry on I will lose everything. I totally understand what you mean, we are very similar thinkers.

I have told myself i need to go to my bank and take all the money out and put it in a box in my room. At least then i know i can't deposit money into my bet account.. The problem with that is it's reallyi nconvenient because i like to buy things online like clothes rather than go up town and buy them. It's so much easier. Then again... It will get me out the house and take my mind off betting and the temptation won't be there.. Still though.. I will just walk into a bookies and spend a fiver on a bet. Bloody hell i need to sort myself out! I've never played roulette. Is it a game of luck 50/50 red or black?.. So you might win a few times but then you might lose as well?. There is a casino 5 minute drive from me but i've never been in it. I only bet on sport. I have no idea how to play slot machines, roulette, poker etc. I'm glad i don't! This is just my opinion, but i would take some money out of your atm or all of it. You won't bet and lose any more money. You will lose if you keep betting. You always will in the long run. This is why i am trying to sort myself out. It's going to be hard though.
