The last attempt

and dont know where you found that statistic but it is very much incorrect! when your mood improves u will see that lots of people care about you and want you to recover from this horrible disease x

Dovydas how are you doing? X

Day 16. Small quarrel in my family. All quarrels usually happen concerning money. Now it is connected with thing that is worth just 10 pounds. And I want to bet. Still I would manage to borrow 2000-3000 secretly. The question is if I want. Yes, I want. But looking back every time I win shortly I lose much more money. Moreover I have to make additional efforts, to do some smart things as accounts that was used are already blocked. Try to abstain.

You don't really want to borrow £2000-3000 Doveydas do you?

You have said yourself that if you win with it you will soon lose with it.

You may win today but tomorrow or next week you will lose any winnings plus the £2000-3000

You don't really want to end up owing another £2000-3000 now do you ????

You said it yourself.... Now ABSTAIN.

Somehow managed to suffer/ sustain temptations. So day 21.The first mini target is achieved.

Well done. You are doing better than Me! Keep that daily counter going x

Day 24. Still many thoughts about gambling. Have 10 pounds per day, not more. All accounts are empty. More or less things are under control. But I am afraid about future. I will lose my job next month. Difficult time is coming. I will handle somehow.

Day 29. Pushing hard on myself. Saving on everything as much as possible and even more. But still can not refuse beer. Want to bet a lot. K9 and some other blocks help me to avoid compulsive betting.

Day 36. The only thing that stops me from betting is lack of money. If I had thousands I will bet. I hope I will never have thousands any more and always be under control. Restrictions as time and location are worthless at all. Need more restrictions on accessibility of money.

Energy, emotions, feelings, wish to live ... are all gone. Sitting at work, doing nothing, feeling absolutely desperate. Easter joy was to someone, not for me. Meanwhile day 43 existence with no money.

Day 51. Not bad comparing to the fact that few months ago I used to make even 50 bets per day !!! Absolutely sick...

Don`t say „well done“ anyone, as it is the most worthless words in this forum.

Dovydas

Fella word's are only worth the conviction behind them, take any praise for its worth which is to gift your resolve to continue living without the self created misery and devastation brought by your own gambling.

The truth is we are all in the same position, however many days we are since our last punt we are all one decision from the next.

Keep making the right choice for you.

Regards duncan.

Thank you duncan for your words. I see that you are here one of the most important person who gives support to others, you know how to find appropriate words that works for many.

But in fact I do not agree with you about such f...ing gift as words like „well done, sorry about your slip...“ These words are so blunt and so annoying me. It is like empty smile or everyday question „how are you...“. I am so sure that 80% of people do not care about you; rest 20% are very happy that you have problems – even here, in this forum.

Day 59. Still counting cents despite few months ago had thousands.

Fella

I will simply correct your most recent post.

If you have read my own thread or posts on others you will find that i have never written 'sorry for your slip' because i have nothing to be sorry about, I will just write factual ways to eradicate the possibility of that event not reaccurring,yes I write well done to folk it is a term of endearment nothing more nothing less.

Regards your numbers i believe that they are over exaggerated, because it is true i believe that 3% of compulsive gambler's arrest their addiction for a calendar year, thus making the rest active gambler's.

So if it is true that all gamblers are alike, you will find that 97% of the compulsive gambler's seek me to fail,they would wish all the bad luck and terrible things they could to be bestowed upon my life.

How do I form this conclusion?

Because plainly for twenty years that was me,i was bitter,conceated,angry and fought a one man war against the world.

Importance? You write about my importance, well i beg to differ

The only person who my life holds importance to is frankly myself, the consequences of my actions only effect my own life as do the actions of your life only effect you. If you want to throw stones fella probably best that you move out of your glass house because what you chose to write in my eyes only feeds the anger you appear to carry with your every word.

I hope that at some point you find what it is you are looking for

Regards Duncan.
