i will not play poker for money again day 1

Make plans for the money you are going to get on payday. I find it a easier to ignore gambling urges when I know my money is set aside for a particular expense.

Excellant plan degen cheers

​

well i have blipped again aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not on poker but started playing on fruit machines at the pub yesturday when i was really drunk. Started off winning and then started losing and pumped 150 pounds into one machine. absolutely ridiculous. day to day one again and in my overdraft to pay day...................

So the end of a terrible couple of days going to have to dig deep and buckle up to make it to pay day day .one thing at a time. When I get paid ill transfer it all to my parents and just borrow small amounts back to live on.

​

I think ill get a months train ticket in one go when I get paid and not go to the pub, fruit machines are my new nemises

​

Welcome to the club, I buy a months travel ticket every payday, even when I have a week off during the month and I am away travelling elsewhere for some of the days costs me more in long run. I know not to trust myself.

So one day at work of four to pay back what I stupidly lost

​

Just finnished work and didn't go out drinking last night for a friends 35th. Day two of four of paying back money splurged on Thursday and Friday. On the way to the gym now to work off some pounds. Need to start sa ving

​

Going to save for a long summer holiday next year that's my new goal.feel better now I'm sober and have come to grups with the loss of money. I have failed four times since I joined here so I haven't really taken it as seriously as it is. Need

​

Need to come to terms with my predicament. I'm not bad off financially I have a job and somewhere nice to live and money to spend just need to not gamble it away a small price to pay. If only I was sensible none of my friends have a problem why do I ?

​

​I am a gambler and allways will be like I am a smoker and a drinkeri just need to be a person who decides to not do all these vices as they do me no good

Hi Adam,

Might be reasonable not to give up all your "vices" at once. That is a huge amount to take on.

Concentrate on the gambling only and perhaps cut down initially on the other 2.

Just a thought.

Best wishes

Yep good call balvaird cheers
