Here we go.........

Morning Zally

Well done on day 5

I am the same as you I only only interested in online slots recognise what are saying about the secrecy and the money not like real money just a number on the screen that we had to keep playing until we hit that inevitable zero sometimes I was relieved because I could not play anymore and sometimes I would do anything I could to feed the bloody thing

What was all that about me being pathetic and sad

Have a good strong day you won't even spend one penny today on the slots

One day at a time

Morning Zally,

We are both on day 5 i have not gambled, thought about it oh hell yes BUT did i?.....Oh HELL NO.

CL

day 6 today and im feeling some serious melancholy.

im resisting urges left right and centre and finding myself very weepy.

a close friend of mine is also an online slot player although wouldn't consider herself to have a problem with it. yesterday she had a big win and although she is aware of my current struggles she has happily sat and bragged about it.

I don't feel strong enough to argue with her about it but have found myself feeling very alone today and as a result very vulnerable.

I wont/cant gamble but wish I could get as much support from my closest friends as I have so far from you all xxx

Hey zally...

Big wins dont stay big for long.... as cgs and from seeing posts on here we are all to aware on how easy it is to lose ot all back and more....

Stay strong and focussed.... the winning for us is to not give in and fight through...

🙂

well here I am back to day 1. I should be on day 10. I was struggling after my friends win/brag and found myself in a real slump for a few days which culminated in me buying a scratchcard for a quid yesterday and winning three pounds. latwr on I found my hubbys laptop which doesn't have k9 on and before I knew it id lost a tenner.

I know that I haven't had a huge binge but im so mad at myself for caving 🙁

Hi Lisa, sorry to hear of the urges getting the better of you. I know how you must be feeling but you will feel differenly in a couple of days. However the urges wont be going away anytime soon. Therefore you need to learn from your little moment of weekness and put blocks in place to stop you from rrpeating them again. The fact you lost is actually a good thing (i know that must sound crazy), if you had won then you would just be thinking of the buzz and you probably be playing again very very soon.

Why not join the 2014 challenge on the overcoming problem gambling page? I really think the support you get on there would really help you.

Take care

Mark

Hi Lisa

Hope you're staying strong??
