Alright brother sorry to see you slip. Dust yourself down and put your big boy pants on.
Hopefully see you posting a bit more often?

A Sleepless night last night bringing me back to how I used to feel over a year ago. I feel numb, sick, confused, angry and depressed all rolled into one! I let my guard down, I stopped posting on here and I left my money in my account which gave me easy access to funds. I lost a lot of money yesterday £1250 to be exact. On a good note I went into a casino and not into a bookies where I can do damage on a daily basis. I'm put of the bookies fobts which was the biggest issue for me. I used to go into the bookies nearly everyday but I haven't stepped foot in one for months and months. I know my triggers and my up and down relationship has a lot to do with it. Anyway, day one for me again!!
I haven't posted for a while but I have been reading other posts and stories. It's been a about a year since I first came here. This forum has helped me so much, I have had so much advice from people and reading others stories has made me put things into perspective.yes, I've relapsed a couple of times and I have gambled but what I've realised is I haven't gambled on a betting shop roulette machine for a year (when I relapsed it was when I was out drinking with friends and ended up in a casino). The reason I came here is because I was playing the machines everyday, wasted every penny I had and I had credit card and overdrafts debts because of it all. Over the last year I've paid off all debts l, did some some home improvements and saved some money. I don't even think about walking into a betting shop anymore, I'm not even angry at them, I just don't care about them. I have no interest in playing those machines. The reason for this post is because looking back I've achieved wanted I wanted to do and it was stop playing the roulette machine. I want to thank everyone who's offered their help and support. I feel that II've achieved my goal so I won't be on here for a while. Don't get me wrong, I'm not letting my guard down I just feel that there's not much more I can take from this forum. to be honest This forum is the only thing that is related to gambling and leaving this site puts closure on the last 15 years of pure hell all because of those machines. All the best everyone, I'll be back in a few months to see how things are going for Eveyone. Take care and f**k the fobts
