My Last Day Gambling 28/06/19

28/6/19 is my last day as well! Tomorrow will be a fresh day. I am huge amount of debt, but aslong as I don’t gamble the debts can be cleared. Will take a huge amount of time but they can be cleared. Have to stay gamble free! 

Jee

Same as me Ally! Enough is enough, I will be on here daily from now on. Love the help and advice. Good luck 🙂

Hey thanks jee95 and nbunsell for your kind words. Saturday always a hard day with loads of sport on. Time now to focus on the important things in life. A gambling life is no life for anyone. We are compulsive gamblers and can’t gamble in anyway. I would recommended coming on here all the time it’s helps massively and makes you realise your not alone. Stay strong focus. Here is to another gamble free day.

 Enough is enough for me too.I am 54 year old if I stop now in 3 year I can paid my debs.

My first day of gambling free has been tough, more emotionally and the embarrassment than anything. Still coming to terms with the situation I am in, I just want to stay home and not see anyone.  Speak to gam care is wonderful because they understand the situation you’re in when it’s hard to speak to family because they won’t fully understand. 

Hi 65adiva, if will take me 2 years and I’m 24 years old, not what a 23 year old should be doing . If we both stay strong then we can do this, but please speak up if you ever feel down.

nice one

65adiva and jee95, it’s is an emotional time at the beginning but ever day you are gamble free you get stronger and realise that a gamble free future is the way for you. Everything is getting harder, there is too much racing and football now for the form to be accurate. The bookies are not making the money they used to as gambling problems are getting the advertisement they should. First Saturday gamble free been keeping busy one thing for sure. You realise how much you gambled once you stop as you have so much more money and time on your hands. Stay strong folks.

Hi all, 

yeah ah I hope I can get stronger but it’s going to be difficult for me.

Another struggle for me is being accepted. I am ignoring calls from cousins and I went to avoid seeing family members I have taken money off. It’s not about the money, everyone will be back back in due course but will take a lot of time. I am scared to face people. I don’t know how to tell my friends. I can’t see that as I will have no spare money for 2 years. I have to stop everything including gym and football because I won’t be able to afford it.

i feel like my life will be just work and bed.

Hi all. That’s the end of day 1. I would have said another day but my days from now on are not going to be another one of those days. 1daat! Onwards and upwards. ??

Hi Jee, you need to extend the time you’re planning to repay your debt. Creditors will be sympathetic if you explain the situation. You need light at the end of a long tunnel to help you recover, not the thought of 2 years of darkness. I wish you all the best. 

All good comments and guys there is help out there. As long as your paying something towards your debts rather than nothing they will accept a payment. Here is to another day GF. Plan to stay busy and focused and beating this demon. The demon eats away inside you till you dislike yourself and feel bad about yourself. Not anymore this demon will not control me. Stay strong focus.

Had a few urges which is to be expected as I have been here before. I could just do a wee bet challenge and keep it fun but it never stays fun. Always ends in disaster and gets worse than it’s ever been. Staying positive and another day GF. Everyone stay strong your next best it’s worth it. Your health and sanity is worth more. Stay strong folks 

Good evening all. Today has been a better today. Been kept busy most of day. Still struggling to deal with the fact that I’m in 19k and the next 2 years will be a struggle, but I guess that is my own and we still have to stay positive. 

Stay strong all

Hey jee95 every day we get stronger and must never given into our temptations. Once we have given up it’s not about what we have lost. It’s about fixing what we have created. I have lied so much to hide my loses and I am not proud of myself in anyway. Now it’s my time now to make amends to what i have created. Stay strong folks and another GF day ahead.

Hi Allyc123

once The ball starts rolling in paying people back hopefully it’ll be easier as I will know what’s happening, but will have to wait till end of July for my next pay. Going to my first anonymous support group session today. Felt good being back at work. Hope you have a good evening and yes! Another day gambling free!
