Yes its true,i will keep fighting my demons and hoping for a bright side for my family and finances.
Another day Gf I’ve still not gambling I’m walking with a spring in my step! Miss the winning but not more than I hate the losing!! Lost way more than I won.... keeping my mind busy, it’s been weeks since I last played. Not long to go before Xmas and I can start the new year gambling free
Same feeling here,not urge to gamble for 6 days now.Just cant wait as well for new year to come and start a new beginning being a gamble free.
A late post thinking about gambling because there is nothing else to do! I won’t gambling because it’s not fun anymore! It’s just a burden now! Can’t stop reading everyone stories and think wow gambling addiction is so serious! Read an article about so many people that took there own life’s through something that’s meant to be fun, I remember the fun days in a fancy casino dressed to impress.... all my mates with me, drinking winning a spin and using the money to buy drinks, free night... and calling it a day, or going to a party! That’s changed to sitting in a dark room on my phone all night alone.... winning 1000s and losing 1000s can’t even remember the last time I went to the game, or hit the town, I’m a man -u fan don’t judge, I’m from Manchester so it’s allowed.... I’m beating this addiction taking it head on.... it’s not just about money it’s about life now.... anyone who has a recovery dairy read your original posts it’s enough to put you off! still gambling free and no urge to play anymore..... Staying Gf
Such a relivent post, as time goes by I feel even more overwhelmed by how powerful gambling is. Reading diaries of destruction and sadness but also day I'm GF makes me more aware of how sucked in I was.Gambling gives nothing but takes everything, not just financially. Enjoy a GF weekend, take care S:)
Such a good post Dogg1414,everything you said is true.I develop depression and panic attacks because of gambling.It taken all away my life,friends & family and dig me down financially.There were couple of times that i felt suicidal because i couldn't face the consequences I've done.I was risking everything i had, especially financially.I knew that i needed help but didn't have the courage to open my problem with my husband until one day i decided that i have to tell him and seek for help.My husband is very supportive and advised me to go here in GamCare site .Reading and sharing experiences here helps me a lot to learn from my mistakes and realised that life is still wonderful.Gambling is an evil,its so powerful that can takes everything away from us.
Hi Dre
As I am a Liverpool fan I don’t often pay compliments to Man U fans (only joking) but Wow 458 days gamble free, well done Dre.
Just goes to show, if you really want to kick this habit you can, keep going which I am sure you will with success.
