Hey guys,
i have been here so many time before but this time has too be the end. I need too beat this demon. I have dusted myself down and today is my last day of gambling. No matter how much I win I can't stop until I have absolutely nothing. I have been told for years gambling is a mugs game and it is unless you know how too walk away. I have so much good in my life I can't throw it all away. Tomorrow is day 1, I just want too break away from this demon. Time too move forward and grow up. 36 and lost all my money too the bookies the past 18 years. No more lies.
Well done for getting back on board again ally...
Make some changes hun. ..or nothing will change. ..
You're worth way more than gambling can ever offer you..
Xx
Nice one for bouncing back. We have a choice in the moment for everything.
Good luck.
Thanks for the support guys. On day one. A day full of sport. Not looking or being tempted into having a bet. I need too block this demon out and beat this demon. The big first step is too admit I can't have gambling in my life in any way. Tried just one bet a day but I always end up back too square one. Here is too day 1 gamble free. Stay strong folks. A gamble free future is a bright future
On day 3. Gamble free for 3 days now. Makes you realise how chilled life can be without gambling in your life. Not worrying about how much you win or lose. Every day is a winning day not having a gamble. Stay strong folks
On day 5 gamble free. Feeling motivated and positive in what I am trying too achieve. Being gamble free is a less pressured more happier day. Moving forward. I don't feel the need too gamble but when I do, I don't know when too stop.
maybe On day 7, had a few urges today but going too stay busy. Once you have a few days off you automatically think you can control your betting. Once a compulsive gambler always a compulsive gambler. Stay focused and positive and keep reading everyone else’s experiences and stories. Makes you not want too go back too the dark place
Never cured ally but we can control it :))
Well done on reaching your first week gamble free :))
Hi Ally
First week achieved gamble free. The key rule to remember is we can NEVER win. Each day you abstain is a day richer, not only financially.
Keep going and stay strong.
