I really hope I can end this curse which is just so evil. Gambling totally destroys you and my soul. I have wasted all of my adult life on gambling as I am now 42 and starting when I was 17. Gambling is a total joke and it makes you do things you would never normally do if you need money to gamble. This is my 1st day and my first step on the long road to recovery. I need to get gambling out of ny head to get my sanity back. Lost ВЈ1300 over the weekend and now I only have a budget of £40 per week to live on till the end of the month when I get paid. I had to sell my iPad but also lost that money aswell. I have sold so many of my possessions in the past and I have ended up with nothing. I just Hooe I can do it, because last time I stopped gambling for 5 weeks felt great but thought I could gamble to treat myself as I had nit gambled in 5 weeks. I know it is so stupid to do what I done but I am a gambler and most of us gamblers do not care how we gamble as long as we can do it. I need to be strong and one day at a time.
Today is the day I have to now deal with ny problem gambling. I plan on calling for counselling and alao intend on finding out about going to a GA meeting. I have just put my life ina mess at the moment and it does not feel good. I have to remember 1 day at a time. Wish me look for today as this new journey begins.
