Not sure how to start this. I am trying to beat my gambling addiction. Came clean to my partner that I have been gambling again-tried beating it last year but failed.
Don't know why I do it as I know I hurt people, at first it was all about fruit machines after number of years losing thousands I moved onto sports betting mostly football, but I have even bet on horses, boxing, cricket, darts pretty much most sports. Again the losses where huge in comparison to wins.
Couple of days cold tukey as it is, struggling as it has been an escape for me. Closed my betting accounts on the weekend step one of many I'm sure. Taking one day as it comes to hopefully beat this and stay away from betting all together.
Hi mate,
Cold Turkey helps with the initial urges but if you can get to the bottom with what is making you gamble that will be the best option in the long run.
Takes a lot of hard work in my experience, not quite like quitting smoking and the urges go away once the nicotine is out of the system.
