The bear

Hi..had a real real ruff few days. Had a real big amount off money to find by today. Dint think it was gonna happen, but....

Pulled off another begging borrowing off every1 I no. God what a d**k, makes me feel sick..feel so luckily the people that love me have been there again for me..1person inperticulary who I would like to thank.

God only no s why he has been there again for me but he has and I fully intend on paying him and everyone else bk..

I need to find the strength from this rock bottom. It's probley the worst one i have had in a very long time..

I don't think I have the strength to come back from another big big binge...I have to look forward

Having to borrow money is always cr**. I know the feeling.specially when the person you borrow from knows why u have to borrow money.. I feel for you devil, but it's only in our power to stop feeling this way. You should store those feelings deep down and use them to fuel your battle against this addiction.

Take care

Hi 666,

I know exactly how you feel - I too am going to have to borrow to see myself through February. I hate payday loans but see it as a means to an end and as long as I do not gamble my finances can only get better from now on. A debt free future is difficult to see and believe in right now (as things are so bad) but I remind myself that I got myself into this mess over a number of years so it's going to take time and as long as I do not gamble it is absolutely do-able.

You can do this - you can make your future better even if the present is tough.

Keep fighting the fight and you'll always be a winner! x

Thanks for the replys,

Am feeling a little beta today. Looking like another gf,

Be another big test more towards the weekend when there will be money around me. Fingers crossed for me and every1 else on this site..

Keep it going your doin well . Make sure you plan ahead for the weekend and don't have any time on your hands. Good luck x

7days past now. Feeling a little beta in myself. Speaking with a gamcare adviser tonite so hoping that go,s ok..

We looking to meet up face to face next wk. anyway weekends on the ay so gonna get planning so don't slip up..

Hi thanks for the post. Slight correction to what you stated - this site is for people who have gambling problems and want to control them or eradicate them. Gamcare don't specify that you have to want to stop completely, although most people do.

My latest post you referred to wasn't to 'big-up gambling 'as you quoted, it was just reflective of a comparison between my current position of having recovered from my gambling problems and my previous position where I was totally out of control.

Best of luck with your recovery.

Hey. Yeah I do get u bud, was just saying
