At my whits end no matter how hard I try too control my betting I can't. No matter the wins it always ends in a mess. Just keep going back for more and more betting on anything due too go off. I need too start from day 1 tomorrow. I am totaly an utterly ashamed of my actions. The money I could and should have is upsetting, but the past is in the past. I need too build a new future for myself without gambling. I am a compulsive gambler and must not gamble.
Hi ally 1981
Gambling kills there is no doubt about it. Not always (although we here of many) in the true sense of the word but in every other sense yes. It kills relationships with husbands/wives/partners. It kills the love your children have for you and it kills your mind....your ability to find joy in everyday life.
The thing is ally you have to want to stop....no one can do this for you....only you! There are so many great people on here who are choosing not to gamble because they want a life.
You can do this! Take every single avenue of help/support open to you and start your recovery today. Gambling has stolen your past, don't let it steal your future.
Some of the regular (determined and successful) abstainers will be along shortly.
Day 1 ally......and I really wish you all the best!
On day 1, felling positive and not letting gambling control my future. Gambling has made me become someone I am not. My mood is controlled by my wins or my loses. I don't even know why I do it. Thinking back I just can't stop. I could gamble all day till I have nothing left. The hardest bit about being a compulsive gambler is working away. On day 1. Here is too a gamble free future
