Hey,

I just joined this site, I guess I'm trying to get help but just reading forums. I can relate to basically every G*****n post.

Like you, I've felt like the most worthless person in the world. It's late and I just left my partner a note for him to find in the morning, asking if he could please transfer my account £150 as it's in the negative now after I thought it would be a good idea to play some. I felt lucky. I actually played some before and I got lucky and withdraw £400 from the site I was playing at. I should've left it at that. BUT...I went back. Put everything in and played with higher stakes thinking I'd get thousands. I didn't. I put a little bit more in, surely it'd give me some back now!! I upped the stakes. Nothing. I feel so low. w*f is wrong with me. 

Do I really want to stop gambling? Maybe. This is a possibility I think. The highs are so high though. But the lows...They're so f*****g low. I feel so worthless, like you. 

Hang in there. Just..hang in there. 

I work in a bookmakers and like most of you I have blow every penny up the wall on a payday it's not nice smart or clever but there is a way to sort it and it starts with small steps you are not worthless at all just lacking control find the first and easiest thing you can in life to control and apply what you can from that to gambling be it leaving your card behind and only carrying cash downgrading your phone to an old school brick phone meanwhile contact Moses and self exclude from everywhere take a deep breath then tell someone who your trust it will get better I promise

I'm just like you I play in arcades.i win.but losing lately.i can't afford it. I need to stop fully but it's the complete stop I find hard how do you go go 100 % stop for life if you enjoy it.but can't afford it

I spent 4 yes learning how to play fruit machines.the thing is I still lose.why mostly cos I jump on the wrongachines.or I didn't bring enough float with me. and never spun enough to let machine run its cycle I'd class myself as a knowledgeable player that just doesn't have a big enough bankroll.

and cos of this I drop my bets and drop to lower RTP % when I should do the opposite.so I said myself.just give up and play 2 P pushers.i know I will lose on them.there is no skill.but you see kids playing them losing money and you feel like saying to them you are still losing.being a kid isn't an excuse.even adults play these easy to lose pushers.i know I'm.skilled.but sometimes skill runs out.but bankroll runs out first.
