I was meant to be 118 days gf today but cocked up today spent £20 online i did win then gave it all back as usual but did stop and didnt chase it further dont know why i miss that buzz so stupid just got me couldnt get it out off my head all morning . Anyway i excluded from site then phoned gamestop asked them to help me as i couldnt pass the identity bit anyhow lady was loverly talked me through it again and i successfully did it . Its like a weight has been lifted even if in the future i have a strong urge i cannot play which is great . So may be day 0 but do feel proud i did not gamble to extinction my hard work from the last 3 months is still intact so onwards and upwards good luck all its a hard journey this Bambi
Hi Bambi the best thing is you knew what to do, didn't keep going on and on. It's not easy.
Thanks merry go round 3 months ago i would have chased it until nothing left . Need to just forget it and move forward.
Had a email from one of the many sites i used long time ago saying sorry you have decided to excluded guess gamstop is starting to work yay 🙂
10 days gf no urges either . I feel ok dont want to gamble i think its because i know i cant now . Gamstop is going to save alot of people from ruin .
Why when i started gambling didnt anyone notice . I feel so sad i withdraw from all my friends and family why could someone not stop me . I know why i was depressed and we hide it well . I saw one of my best friends yesterday and had the best day and it has made me really think . Ive pushed away all my friends and family and now im rebuilding my life again . I am a strong person ive been through things noone would ever think about about i could problay write a best seller . But my down fall is im independent never want to ask for help never want people to see my weakness i dont want to be judged or put down but because of that i have pushed everyone i love away well no more . I want my friends and family to be with me and to know my struggles no more hiding . I want to live and i will . This gambling has opened my eyes and made me rethink everything . We need our friends and family if we are alone we are lonely and in a dark place . Just spending time talking about the stupidest things can make us happy . I will.never gamble online again i know that . I dont need it or want it anymore . But i has helped me realise what i do need 🙂 take care all i really hope you can stop x
