Today I placed my last 200 on online gambling. I have promised my self that this will be the final bet. Then when of course I lost it all, I went on and blocked all my bank accounts and cards from gambling. I also registered for gamstop which I wish will be effective. Noone knows about my gambling habits and noone will expect someone like me to be a gambler especially to the extend I am. I am working on a budget plan to pay off the remainder debt I have and then I'll take it from there. Please lord help me in this. I am so ashamed that I reached this stage and I hope one day I'll feel like a normal person. I am a woman and I am so jealous for all the women around me that have normal everyday problems and they live normal lives. I want that. I LL work towards that and I hope my past won't catch up to me.
Well done for joining Gamstop they will stop the Gambling sites in their tracks well done ! Dont forget Moses for street Bookmakers they are good to.I am never going to leave the door open for gambling addiction again , i hope you do to.Even when i go to the Bath room i will make sure my blocks are with me all the best you can do it.
How are you getting on?
I stopped around the same time (24th October 2025) was my last bet.
Found today and yesterday a bit of a struggle, the temptation is still there.Â
I've set a daily diary to just pop on here for 15 minutes and read others experiencing the same feeling.Â
You don't need to be ashamed, having gambled for the last 23 years, the thing I've learned is that it's not one's stupidity or lack of care, but a natural urge to yield to the bodies desire for dopamine (or something like that).Â
Your 'sensible' brain tells you you don't want to do it anymore, and the 'chimp' (your desire for dopamine/reward system) fights your sensible brain to get that hit.Â
