fed up with myself

Hi Sunshine,

You have to let go of the losses you wont win them back because you wont stop. You like me have been there so many times before and the spin cycle of gambling just begins all over again.

I know its difficult to do especially when its so near to christmas but let them go sunshine, its the addictive part of your brain talking not the logical part.

Logically you know you will lose and christmas will be ten times worse than it ever would be now if you stop, and you will feel 10 times lower.

Be strong sunshine, dont batter yourself thats when your at your weakest and its vunerable to go back to gambling.

You can do this, I know you can, we are all behind you.

Take care

Hi Sunshine

I know you won't be feeling great right now but think of it this way...it could of been so much worse. You have done the right thing coming back on here which proves you want to fight this. I did the same thing as you honey, it's like our brains forget all about the misery, sadness, guilt and despair that gambling brings and that somehow we can control it..it just doesn't make any sense. But what i did learn is that i can't ever have 'just £20' to gamble because it would never stop there!

Anyway Sunshine, perhaps when when the dusts settles, try and make a positive plan if you can...something to focus on, something that makes you happy because that helped me on this road to having a life without gambling.

Keep strong

Forwards not back

Hi Sunshine

Dont reflect on the lose I know easier said than done but chasing just gets us in more trouble as you are well aware

Stay strong and focused and you get out of this mess and have your live back maybe not this Christmas but if you stick to the plan next year will be different

Take care and stay strong and just for today I will not gamble

Hi sunshine your back on here your showing yourself that you don't want to gamble. Stay busy - maybe meet up with someone. Any distraction will help.

Have you got any self exclusions in place? If you haven't then I would strongly recommend them. They will help you in knowing that your "locals" are now out of bounds. Or if its online get a blocker. Anything that could help is worth a shot right?

Be strong sunshine, you've already proven in the past you can do this. We're all here for you and we all believe in you.
