To cut a long story short, I was on 50+ days but last weekend decided to put a couple of bets on and I don't even know why!?
Even though I won a little it didn't feel good and I felt ashamed, I thought maybe I'd turned a corner in the FA the that I didn't have that buzz or need to gamble anymore.
Tonight I've put a few more on and lost, I've had enough. It's so hard stopping for good, I was doing so well.
Hi mate i feel your pain i am back to day 1 after nearly 2 years gamble free......feel really bad but hope being back here helps why do we do this to ourselfs? I have had enough too but as you say it is hard stopping.
By no means a expert by any way shape or form, but if was me I'd just try and work out why I did it for instance iv probably a hundred reasons that I could blame on me going back to bookies argueing with some one , stress , boredom , being skint. And routine, try work out which one and don't let it happen again?
