Hi guys, so I had a relapse yesterday and I lost 1.4k.. Somehow losing 350 made me bet 1050 straight after on the roullette. Well what a stupid move. I don't know why my brain works like this, it's terrible.
Anyway I am having a fresh start and this is day 1. Does anyone have any major tips. The blocking software seem's like a idea that I'll be able to get around so for anyone with it, is it actually useful?
Thanks guys.
I know how you feel.. I did what u did.. Tried to chase my loses but just keep losing more.. Not I'm struggling to find money to pay for my bills and debts. Feeling very down. Good luck with your recovery 🙂
Hi Zlime,
I lost 1.7k last month. I know it's not a competition to see who loses the most. It was devastating.
Can i give you two tips that helped me.
1) hand control of finances to a partner or friend
2) self exclude all bookies near you.
Read on here aswell helps. I wish you all the best mate. It's a terrible feeling and i know. But make the changes and time does heal the wounds.
Paul.
