We can never win because we cannot stop

That very much Suzanne for your kind words, your so true you can never win cause even when we do win we lose it cause we just keep betting till we have nothing left. Hope your doing well an staying strong.

Day 1 going ok. Certainly no real urges too gamble just totally gutted am here again been here so many times. A didn't lose a lot but the really had made me realise I shouldn't been gambling. Once I get the first few days over I will be fine. Starting a new fresh challange too stay gamble free. It is that one bet away too self destruction again. Tried so many time just one football bet a day an never works out that way. As soon it goes down I chase chase chase until a lose everything. Feeling really down today. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel better 🙂

I have done the same mate been on here a good few times.i lost 1500 from last thur to sun and am still hurting 🙁 put your mind to it mate,you can do it.i am on day 5 today and hope to rack up more in the months to come.xmas is my goal then probably try kick on from there. Goodluck mucker.

Cheers scootyboy am a better person when I don't gamble we all are. I never lost a lot the point is I start yesterday sports betting yesterday with 40 an gambled right till 6 am the next morning an was up at 145 an kept going up an down up an down. What scred me is a didn't know when too stop before I would have deposited more money but I scared myself cause a honestly could stop an go too sleep. An I kept going till I lost the 145, took me 20 hours too get up too 145 an lost the 145 in a moment of madness in 5 mins, I was so sickened like never before. Something came over me an made me realise I need too stop or am going too lose everything. I can't be trusted when it comes too gambling. I can lose everything an more. Day 1 over, moving onto day 2 positively. Moving forward never back 🙂

On day 2 an feeling positive an determined. Yesterday I was so down as I had let myself get here again but I have chosen too do something about it an become gamble free. I woke up this morning an said I have a gambling problem an I must not gamble as I keep reminding myself it keeps me strong an positive. Here is too a gamble free day. Stay strong folks every gamble free day is a good day 🙂

Never made it on yesterday but was a positive day no urges an stayed focused. On day 4 now hope for pretty much the same as yesterday keep busy an stay focused an say too myself I have a gambling problem an must not gamble. Good luck everyone moving forward never going back

Good luck mate, stay positive.

I broke yesterday so today is back to my day one. I so want to beat this demon.

On day 6 now nearly at the week mark :), No real urges staying focused an busy an keep reminding myself I have a gambling problem an cannot gamble. I just need too take every day as it comes been here before an we are one one bet away from destruction that's why we must avoid that one bet. The more the days an weeks go by the stronger I will get. I intend too use the site as much as possible. Moving forward never back stay strong folks 🙂

On day 8 now an over a week gamble free. Feels real good not stressing about sport an see a big difference in the pocket as the pennies are mounting up :). Been staying busy at work an taking my mind off things. I have a gambling problem an cannot gamble. Moving forward never back. Made my first step 1 week so happy days 🙂

Hi ally,

Well done on getting to your first week, this is a horrible illness with no medicinal cures unfortunately, but staying on this site, going to GA and installing all sorts of gambling blocks in my house and phone have helped me to stay on the straight and narrow for the past 25 day's.

Just continue to promise yourself one day at a time that by not gambling your expectations will be manageable.

Keep posting, enjoy the sunshine and good weather and see life for what it is meant to be and not being stressed, sick, shattered, skint and shamed by the awful affliction of compulsive gambling. You have done it before and like myself have had a slip but, it is not the end of the world, you have recognised a problem and its how you deal with it now that matters.

We will win every day that we dont gamble.

Best wishes on your recovery.

Thanks so much for your kind words hope it means so much. I have been hear before an makes you realise how important every gamble free day means. I hope your recovery is going well an stay focused we are all here for the same reason. Moving forward never back. Wake up everyday an admit your problem it makes it so much easier. Take care on your recovery 🙂 x
