Hi Jess, its so true looking back now that I had more low points than high points when I was gambling. Even if I won I was always chasing more..I just like you had lost all disregard of money and all I thought was one big win could change my life.

What changed my life was not gambling and saving some hard earned money I worked for and now being able to buy things I have always wanted. Its a good feeling when you buy something with earned money.

I still have urges like all of us and would be lying if I said I didn't think about it most days..I just try and shift the thought to other subjects close to my heart. I knew I could have crumbled 6 months ago but didn't and that was a huge step for me.

Thanks for your kind words and support, I'm supportive of everyone on here and if I can help anyone on their journey that means the world to me!

I have no doubt you can go 516 days and beyond..if I can anyone can!

All the best!

Krishan

Hi Krishan,

Thanks again for the support. Sorry to hear you've been thinking of gambling but really pleased to hear you haven't.

You've been gambling free for so long now, I'm not sure how 'fresh' the memory of your last session is for you. Let me remind you, as someone who still has a very fresh memory of the horror of blinding making deposit after deposit after deposit in the hope of winning back what you've so carelessly just thrown away - it really isn't worth it.

That feeling of complete panic as you keep depositing, the nausea that sets in when you realise it's all gone, the sleepless nights you have as you replay it all over and over and over again...just wishing you'd cashed out - at any point that wasn't zero, the internal war that rages the next day as half your brain tells you to try and win it back while the other half of your brain begs you not to.

It really isn't worth it Krishan, you've done so well to get to the stage you are. Don't go back to the place I am

Stay strong

Jess

Thanks so much Jess,

These past two weeks have been particularly bad for me with it being the Australian Open and tennis was my main sport to put money on.

You're forum helped me so much when I felt a little down so a massive thank you for sharing your story and updating regularly! I have every confidence you will do extremely well with everything you do and will always get my support.

I can't imagine taking a huge step back but I just know I need to be careful and not let my guard down!

My last session is actually quite fresh in my mind as I remember the day very well and sometimes I think back to that day and that always prompts me to keep going and stay strong not just for me but for everyone on this site.

If I can do anything to help you know where I am, thanks for the support and kind words..its appreciated as always!

Kind regards

Krishan x

Hi guys. I'm new here but I need to share this my gbling addiction has only been broken through the power of Jesus Christ the son of God Before i became a Christian I was prefuse ROULETTE ROULETTE AND SLOTS I got free Then last year as a Christian I fell back into it , again I lost 1000,s but my only!! Way out was jesus , praying to him And wise Council

There are many good preaches on YouTube on gambaling that I listened to and still went back and gambled But I'm free and came across this forum And I feel for everybody struggling God loves you all and can help you how he helped me Please don't hesitate to respond I can show you guys some great resources And tell you how only through jesus I got free and how you can too
