You just need to eliminate the ways that you bet. Tell people and get their help now as at the moment you're only ruining your own life. I ruined my wife's and my kids. I've only done a week but I know for certain I won't be betting again and I know because its gone so far tried many times and failed but I slip up here its game over.
Hi MBA,
So yesterday I shut all remaining accounts for good, not self exclusion but completely shut them.. Then I also spoke to my Dad who obviously said I was stupid but that it's so easy to become hooked as he did as one point but he will help me through it!
Feels so much better having people know and them to know help me through! Also thanks for keep commenting on here, really helps
Hi stupidgamble,
Hope things are still on track mate?
Hey mate,
What he said above^ hope your doing well my friend.
Hi, Sorry been so long since last post.. Just been so angry with myself, was going really well for ages and I was actually enjoying that I wasn't gambling anymore and just made me feel so much better.. but then November payday came and just had an urge late at night, luckily i went from 100 - 4500 in one night, taking out 2000, i left 2500 in my account stupidlt, which as you probably guessed I lost!! but i managed to think positive and that is i gained 2000 out of it which helped pay some bills but i still hated myself for even going back to it!
December was going well until last night, wasted all the money in my bank account, roughly 800, on roulette and now i feel sick, guilt, hate myself for it and im starting to lose freinds and family as they dont like what i've done!! especially as so close to christmas.. I'm 20 and i just feel like its taking over my life.. I go on a good run of resisting then just hit a huge wall and back to square one with a massive thud!!
Just need serios help and to stop.. 2015 will be the year i change i know but its the next month with no money and not paying bills thats going to hurt me!! ..i've set myself a goal of buying a car and a rolex watch in the new year so if i set theses goals hopefully thatll keep me away from bookies and start saving
