Day 5
Few temptations yesterday H.Morrison had a horse running at southwell which i really fancied, i did not bet on it. Result ? of course it won, that is this gambling curse all over !
Still win or lose, i dont need gambling anymore in my life. I am a winner because i have chose not to gamble today.
Keep strong all, Dark Place

fella you are still in the revolving cycle of the gambling life,for me for us the compulsive gambler one that is truly madness.
TO REPEAT THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND EXPECT THE OUTCOME TO BE DIFFERENT.
my friend I am glad you are in touch with the forum,it means you can see there is a light all be it a long way in the distance at present.
I wish I could stop the pain,truth is I can't the only person who can is you.
I stand by your side,unconditionally my friend safe in the knowledge that one day the 'penny will drop'
Duncs stepping forward never
Keep posting DP, there is no 1 in a team in this good fight!! Support is here, let's do it soldier!
Hi DP
Day 1 or day 67 it does not matter bacau se you have come on here and therefore you you are trying just
LIke the rest of us it's one day at a time that is the only way we can do it even if we reach day1000 it will always be one day at a time for us I really feel for you but please don't despair and keep coming on here especially if you get the urge and remember the pAin of losing you have a lot of support here
Take care and try not to be too hard on yourself

Oh DP! Fight with all your might! Repeat this to yourself over and over .... "I can't win because I can't stop." The gambling madness has its grip on you so you have to really focus on changing your thinking, because we both know, when we're in that "zone", we just aren't rational. You can do this. You've got lots of people rootin' for you so come here every day, read the advice, read about the misery people feel, and try to focus your mind on the positives that not gambling will bring back to you! Don't beat yourself up about it.... just change focus. Fighting alongside you.... C xx
Day 2 / Thanks Carla and everyone for your unconditional support. I know enough about this madness and have abstained enough to know the benefits of it.
Penny has to drop now Duncan otherwise the alternative will be an emotional eathquake that i may not be able to recover from. I am so sorry i do not have the strength or will to post messages of suport to people here that i know i should. When i have regained some semblance of composure, i will be writing again messages of support. Dark Place /
Day 3
Heaven knows why i am in such a bad state again, desperate financial situation but i will survive. Trying to be strong it will take all my willpower.
Dark Place
Hi DP
