Hi guys
My name is Paul, I won't bore you with the details as you have all heard it before.
I had a successful time away from gambling, stopped posting on here, fell off the wagon, big losses and now I am back. I need to focus this time, keep posting and no matter how bored I get, MUST NOT GAMBLE. Tomorrow will be day one of the rest of my life. So true that saying, I CANNOT WIN BECAUSE I CANNOT STOP.
d**n FOBT's!!!
Paul
MUST, MUST learn from my past mistakes, NEVER, NEVER go in to the bookies for a 'free cup of tea', we all know it's NOT FREE. Need to focus and stop playing these horrible things which I call my friends the FOBT's.
I remember a time when I wasn't gambling for months and months, what a happy time that was, I want those days back.
Paul
What lovely times there were when I wasn't gambling, actually going to town centres and enjoying looking at shops instead of running out of the bookies, to the cash point, back to bookies, to the cash point, running to a different bookies etc, etc.

Hi Paul,
Welcome back, have you thought about changes in your life, because that saying nothing changes if nothing changes is sooo true,
Well done on coming back and not giving up on giving up.
Keep strong and keep winning back your life.

I am as strong as ever about giving up gambling. Funny thing happend this time, when I have a big loss I play until I have no funds but this time I still had some money in my pocket and thought, 'nah, this game is not for me'.
Maybe I had a wake-up call?
Paul
No gambling today.
Well done Paul, keep going

Hi guys
Maybe it's different this time, I have no desire whatsoever to play on those FOBT's to chase money. I have never felt like this before, after a big loss it's always 'go on, have a go and try to win back the money'.
Paul
No gambling today.
Hi all
Slowly the worm is turning, must remember this time NO COMPLAINCY.
Paul

No gambling today.
Hi Paul, day 9 for me I share your hate for those machines, only product that has ruined me. Stay strong don't let them have anymore.
Hi all

Paul
I am not going to gamble today, the money I have lost is gone - I can't beat a machine THAT IS FACT!
