I really have had enough, I'm GOING to stop I am determined to stop this time. I have made loads of posts about me stopping but this time I am doing it for my own good and my mental health. It's absolutely ruining me. Roullette is the most evil thing ever and it's sickening. I try and put off listening to advice because I am so addicted with the roullette but I'm going to speak to gamcare now and I am going to add a block for my computer, these are the first ever steps I have took [even though I've said i'll stop so many times] but I feel quite positive about this one.
The thing's I could of done with that money.....holidays... but it's all my faul, and only I can change it. I have been reluctant in the past but now I am putting all stops down to change it. I want to change.
Fella , only you can make the changes and decide , we've all done the just one more bet approach and everyone of us has failed to control our addiction , time to listen to all the advice given as it comes from many sources of experience , so no more excuses , get all the blocks in place because only you can make getting up tommorow morning different frrom every other morning ?.
Best wishes ................Alan
Cheers Alan. I know I've finally realised that now. I'm currently downloading a blocker for my computer and all my accounts are self excluded. Hope you're well.
Al good mate , I know it sound as though everyones on your case but we've all been there and completely understand how difficult it is to wake up and smell the coffee , it is tough as nothing worth having is ever easy but believe me it's definately worth the effort , I've gambled for about 35 years but have not had a bet for 7 months now and with all the tools available to you here you can acheive the same result no problem .
Glad your putting things in place , if you need any advice just post and all the crew will come running !.
Take care buddy and well done for making a good call !

9 days clean
Hi, I'm at 5 days, an absolute novice. Like you, I had a big loss which I could ill afford and knew that had to be my last. Financially I'm struggling and all for what? I'm at an age where I should and could have been comfortable. It's done now though, so only trying to look foward. Keep it up.....
Well done zlime on your 9 day's gambling free , stick with it my friend it will get easier , little steps and one day at a time !
Best wishes Al
Thanks guys, not even had any urges from my last loss, that's why i've not been on here that much recently because I feel like I've been going well. Hope you're both well thanks for the support.
3 weeks gamble free but i'm feeling urges like no other today.
Stay strong Zlime - hang around this site and read some diaries. Take yourself away from the situation you usually gamble in to give youself time to fight these urges.
Remember your fist post - you are doing this for you, your mental health - gambling is no good for any of us. You can do this!
today i relapsed. i just woke up and couldn't stop thinking about the roullette .. back to day 1..
