Hi guys my name is Reece I've not been on here for a long time now,
I would be lying if I said I hadn't gambled in the time I haven't Been on here I had a gamble today actually I'm not even bothered about the money anymore it's the anxiety and the way I feel after betting specially when losing we all know it's the worst but the best when winning but we all need to remember we will never win ,
I'm going to give this challenge another go I'm not going to bore you with all the stuff we are all on the same page so you'll have an idea on what I've done and how I've felt I hope you guys can help me along the way! Thanks tommorow is a new day
Hey Reece how are you? I think you hit the nail on the head when you talk about anxiety you feel when you have lost and you might feel the 'chasing the losses' thoughts. Also good to hear that youve realized no I dont want to do this anymore and are defiantly saying this both on this post but also in your mind.
You might be aware of self exclusion and its a fantastic thing because itll prevent you from gambling should the urge come about but self control is something else. I hope that you will be able to successfuly give up gambling for good.
Have a good week
Rich
Oh yes I'm a big fan of self exclusion lol but always a way around I find but its the will power and to be strong isn't it!
Today's been a good day for how I've felt as I've kept busy today at work left the door 5:30 just walked in what a lLong day but happy in my self
I accept that gambling will always be part of my life as its always there which is the hardest but like I said we need to keep the will power !
Well done Reece nice to see you back
Today's another day feeling ok today hopefully not a bad day at work happy atm hope you can all relate
Day 2 gamble free feel good!
Day 3 still gamble free bit anxious but nothing too serious just really P****d off that Arsenal failed to close the gap on skidos
Stay strong Reece it's good to be P****d off for Arsenal playing poorly rather than your accum going down
Well done tonight bud its not easy to give into the urges when we are surrounded gambling.
