recovering from gambling last gamble 27th december 2013

Hi Stop,

50 days tomorrow we'll done, and I hope all goes well with your old job

Take care

Suzanne xx

Congratulations on day 50 stop.

I read through your diary last night and I just wanted to say what a lovely person you seem.

I know those losses are hard to deal with and get over. You lost £200 50 days ago - but that means 50 days that you didn't lose £200...that's £10,000 you've saved. That is a very impressive number and something to be very proud of.

Well done

Thanks 50 days I've not gambled I'm starting to forget about that 600 pounds I've lost

Hi stop... well done on your 50 days gambling free... continue keeping safe... S.A

its been 52 days since my last gamble im doing well i had thoughts of gambling today, thinking i could win back that £600 i lost

i cant win that money back its just stupid of me to think that i can. i went to a gamblers anoymous meeting last night and another guy had broken out and he had gambled sunday thankfully ive not gambled for 52 days i hope to make it a year this time i never want to gamble again.

its been 54 days since i last gambled i went out with my parents to romford market and bought myself 2 new tops in h and m

glad that moneys not spent on gambling i can have such nice things if i dont gamble a nice holiday a nice new car lots and lots of nice things.

Hi Stop... its nice "to be in a position to buy nice things".... and thats all down to you not gambling!

Well done... S.A 🙂

its been 57 days since my last gamble my parents still dont know about my last gamble, they would kill me if they found out and i dont want to upset them i want them to think that im doing well, im still not working ive not worked since february 2013 and february 2015 will be 2 years. i was diagnosed with shzisoaffective disorder back in february im on tablets which help stop it im on a drug called deprocote and olazapine ive put on alot of weight though taking these tablets makes me hungry all the time i wish i was not on medication and that i could just return to work, 2 years ive not drove for nearly as well and i got my license back but i feel scared to drive now nearly 2 years is a long time for not gambling.

its been 59 days since my last gamble when i lost £600 i cant believe that i lost all that money the machines online gambling are so fixed they just take all your money and leave me skint thankfully ive not let gambling do that to me and i still have money left in my bank account. its been 2 months since i last gambled and i never want to gamble again i dont have urges to gamble its like i would love to gamble and try and win some money but i know thats not going to happen cant win all the time end up losing in the end.

its been 60 days since my last gamble, i cant believe that i lost £600 still seems like a bad dream, im thankful that ive not had to tell my mum and dad though as i have enough money in my bank not to tell them i have some money in a bond as well which i can get the begging of january, im lucky im in no debt but could of easily of got in to debt

Hi stop,

Thanks for your message on my diary. Congratulations on 60 days. Onwards and upwards.

Best wishes

Dave

Suzanne xx

i not gambled in 61 days today thanks suzanne, ove 2 months ive not gambled for quite looking forward to christmas i can buy a few christmas presents as i still have money in my bank account even though i wasted £600 on those still roulette games online.

im banned from that site now i swear these machines adn online roulette are fixed so they are the winners and they take all you hard earned cash away.

Hi Stop... and well done on your gamble free time.

Online or machine gambling is all fixed. The usual scenario is a series of small wins in order to keep you playing ie whats the point in cashing out if your only just ahead. So you keep playing and then losing and then perhaps you do have a somewhat bigger win, which might take you back to a point where you a bit ahead... but then we still don't cash out do we.... cos we always want more!!

The only win is not to play. I think your doing great. keep up the good work... S.A 🙂
