For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Never been a religious person but how accurate is this to describe us all.
I'm a new member, hit the wall last night, ended up in casino lost 1k and I don't know why I did it. I knew half way through I wasn't going to win but carried on regardless. Been trying to stop for past 6 months but can't and although now excluded from online, bookies and casinos I know I will find a way around it.
Stay strong Shakey! I am 2 weeks gamble free today. October 12 I’ve lost £6700 in just a few hours, then followed by losing a further £2k in the following days including all my wages. I have now accepted I can never win and will never get back the £60k I’ve lost in just 2 years. Many here have been CGs for decades and I do not want to end up that deep into my addiction so I have sought help now and really working hard in recovery. You can do it too.
Finding today tough not having a bet, it's every where though on the TV, radio news papers really difficult to not want to bet when it's rated down your throat 24 7.
