It’s not an easy addiction to overcome, I’ve wasted so much money and more importantly time in bookies casinos amusements and online. I’ve done Gamstop and that does help but I still visit the local bookies. I wrote this now determined to stop but I’ve been here so many times before.Â
As I write this i have some bets on the horses today pending.Â
I know I can’t control my gambling but weirdly never had a problem with horses. Not that I justify this of course because I know I can’t stop.Â
Stopping completely is the only answer. I know there are some really good people on here with similar stories to me and those that have stopped gambling for years but still take the time to contribute to the forum, I’d love to be one of those people in years to come.Â
So my lucky 15 is pending and the slips in my pocket, regardless of the result I’m off gambling I’ve had enough of this disease.Â
I aim to take one day at a time, I have been long periods without gambling but today Will be my last im too tired of this addiction.Â
Thanks for reading and good luck in your own recoveriesÂ

Good luck. Cliff.  It’s sooo hard. But we will win in one way.  To stop. Takes some time. But we can get the thrill from other places.  The feeling we have money in our pockets. Or spending it on family instead of gambling.  It can give us the buzz to make others happy and not ourselves sad.  Good luck  Â
