I have been a visitor on this site on and off for a few years but rarely post. I think it’s finally time to for me to take this seriously after many relapses.
I managed 7 months which is the longest I’ve ever ever went in over 15 years (I’m 30) but have slipped back into my old ways due to health and relationships problems.
I am going to to make an effort to come on here every day and post my feelings, even if nobody reads it just for my own sanity.
I’m fresh from losing 220 on roulette and slots. Stupid thing is I wasn’t even bothered I’d lost as felt like a relief as I know it’s impossible to stop on the back of a win.
So here I go this is day 0 and the start of a new gamble free life
I'm in exactly the same boat day 0. Good luck to you one day at a time. Gambling only brings tiny relief then thinking about the next hit.
Thanks Gamblor but unfortunately I’ve failed so far. Yesterday was one of he worst days of my life. After posting here the next day day 1 I went and blew my full months wage on roulette. It’s possibly the lowest I have ever been and had some very bad thoughts come into my head
Today is now day 1 again for me and I’ve not gambled however it’s not really a result as I haven’t had any money to gamble with. I now have another 2 weeks to go without any money. I’m just going to take it a day at a time. Today has been a very tough day but surprisingly the gambling hangover and dread hasn’t fully hit yet which I find a worry. It’s almost although I’ve lost everything I had I now feel a sense of relief as I know I can’t hurt myself anymore at least for a few weeks until I get paid.
I really hope this gets easier!
Day 2, no urges to gamble and the disgust of what I’ve done this week is really hitting home. I have my daughter tonight who is only 7 months old and hate myself for wasting that money which would have been so much better spent on her. Determined never to feel that low again
