Hi there 

Its not easy for me to talk about it because I have been gambling since 2019 day and day out like I got addicted pretty easily. This took control over my life and I got myself into debt because of my gambling addiction . I took a loan of 10.000 last June and I regret it till now . I know whats done is done but I cannot forgive myself that I was that stupid to do it . Of course I lost in all in the Casino withing couple of days. I felt like s**t . I didn't want to go to work me think what is the point if i only go there to make some money for my gamble addiction. I last gambled yesterday 06.03.2022. I  am also in debt on my credit card of 1500 and I am also 500 overdrawn. I have nothing, not even a penny. i am glad I did my food shopping on Friday otherwise I would have no money for the food like sad life isn't it.I got up this morning crying think why ? why some people win and I always lose money.I feel really down today so I decided to talk about it to you guys because you don't know me.I am trying my recovery from today and I hope that NEVER EVERin my life I am going to waste mo money on gambling .

Easy to say but I have tried so many times to give up and this is my last change.I will update you in a couple of days how I fell like I know its not going to be easy

I know nobody is going to read it so i am going to to write down what my thought are I feel like ths is helping me to get though hard time I am going through right now with my gambling addiction

In million years I would never think that I would get addicted to anything but here I am sad and miserable and I keep comparing myself to other people that they have a nice house , nice car nice clothes I could have it all  but instead I went to gamble all my money , I have a good job , good salary but this was just over the top and I had to put a stop to it TODAY I promise myself i will never gamble again because this has destroyed my life and my relationships with my friends and family of course they don't have an idea that i gamble. That's ways I use this website to confess.. I am glad I found this page so i don't have hide files of paper of my confession of addition to gambling. its time for me to get ready for work and I know its going to be hard because I used to do overtime just so I can gamble my money all the hard work I have done its all gone in the bin like my money went in the bin through playing casino games online.

So I am staring my journey today 

Will keep u update in couple of hours probably

Hello there, 

Youve made the best start if you really want to stop. 

This is a great place, where hopefully you’ll continue to visit and get lots more advice. 

Most of us here are similar in many ways. I too played the online slots. Gambling gets in your head. It messes you up, to the point you become a different person. And it’s not a nice person, just one that would do anything to gamble. 

I have had spells of abstinence, but need the smallest excuse to start again. I’ve also been struggling recently. No one said it was easy! It’s certainly a case of trying to focus on other things. Every 10/20/30 minutes gambling pops into my head - I have to turn the channel!!!

I wish you the best. Let us know how you’re doing/feeling.

Tizzy xxx

I woke up this morning really stressed out like I haven't even started my day. I used to get that a lot after wasting  my money on gambling, its the thought that you know that u have no money left and feeling hopeless and useless. I still think kow to win some money so I can pay my debt off even though I don't have  no money to play with in my head there is a stupid thought go and play u gonna win (obviously not).  I still have a couple of years to pay my loan , credit card hopefully until the end of this year and overdraft  will probably take me a month go get out clear o*g I am greatfull this page exist

Sorry I am just going to post what my thought are in this moment, I just have to let it all out to make myself better.

The worst thing is I realise that I have to work all the time and keep myself busy because when I don't all the demons comes in my head, lucky I am working 14 days straight so that will keep me busy, and I hope 2 weeks is enough for me to get out of this bad habit (probably not ) But I won't give up , This is my last chance , I have been struggling bad for the past 3 years even i wanted to take my OWN life because this stupid son of a b***h took my life away BUT NOT anymore 

PROMISE NOT GONNA TOUCH THIS s**t AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if it helps I'm in exactly the same position. 

Lost a fortune which I didn't have and felt like s**t.  I started off on 50p spins and before I knew it I was on a tenner a spin,  then 50 quid fortune spins so literally thousands went in minutes 

 

After i reflected on what i coulf for myself with the money or the family etc but at the time it doesn't cross my mind. 

I've put an app on my phone to stop online gambling and self excluded from all my online casinos.    Plus I've even unsubscribed from all the gambling streamers I've been watching to try and remove all gambling from my life. 

Be strong, keep focused and take one day at a time

Today is the 5th day of gamble free(I mean not free 100%) because in my head there is a thing that keeps telling me to go and play especially when I live not far from the casino venue. 

I know its going to be hard but I am not giving up , I haven't got family on my own ,I only live with my partner , I keep myself busy , like I started drawing and that help me but not all the time , some days I close myself in the room and overthink and I panic. I suppose I have to find something else to keep me busy, like working is not enough, I have been working so much for the past 5 days like I am tired but If I wasn't working god knows where I would be right now (I don't want to know)

I am grateful for each day

I finished work for today,  I had my coffee , gonna put some music on yt and clean then house , later on I am going to the gym to keep my mind off things , that help me get through the day 

I am grateful for each day as it comes

Today is the 14th day of Gambling free

But I have done other bad things instead of gambling ,

Last weekend I have cheated on my partner I live with but I am not happy with 

One thing leading to another

I don't know what to do ? Any advice please???
