Hi all,
So yesterday I won 600, (even tho iv quit!!) to my delight, I got up, withdrew the funds and walked away!! I really though id cracked this..... until i got home, that little reverse funds was niggling.
And you can guess the rest.... left with nothing !
I am extremely mad with myself that I thought I had quit for so long i could control it. how wrong was I! I have once again self excluded all my sites and again im back to day one .... I forgot what that sick to the pit of your stomoch feeling felt like.... well now iv been refreshed of that feeling, I dont want to feel like this again!!
I keep having to convince myself not to gamble, its so hard because recently I have quit and it doesnt rule my life anymore. Onwards and upwards today....
Hello rebocalucy,
Welcome to the Forum. It sounds like you are having hard time and struggling to overcome the addiction on your own. Relapses are part of recovery. There will always be a weak moment and then it can feel like you are back to the start, but do not underestimate the fact that you have shown to yourself that it is possible to stop. It might help you to talk about what you are going through and get support. Why go through it on your own? Our Helpline and Netline are open from 8am until midnight, seven days a week. You're welcome to contact GamCare advisors on 0808 8020 133, which is free on the main mobile networks. Alternatively, you can use the Netline to connect:
