Been here before. Sadly. And when will be the last time, or does it go on forever?
This is the opening. Let's try again. After 25 years, this disease is relentless... you'd think there were some lessons I had learned.
Please help me get through, one day at a time. Tomorrow I have a chance to pull myself out.Â
I'm putting all my faith in God. And somehow, one day, I can put faith in myself...
Good luck.Â
Put all the necessary blocks in place and take it one day at a time.
How bad is it?
Been gambling for probably 40 years and same cycle of losing stopping and returning ..feeling sick,  being great no gambling for 6 - 9 months then back on it ..I know it’s happening but can’t stop it.
@d602n8icoj Thanks for the replyÂ
Well, overall, very very bad, but grateful it's not catastrophic.
Short story... gambling for almost 25 years..sports betting .., now age 43 years old. Over the course of my life, easily £1,000,000 lost. I have been in many debts, dozens of credit cards open in the past $30k, $40k, $50k...you name it ...- thankfully not so much debt now as I have had moments of being clean and resolving a lot of my debt when I'm gamble free... (with help of others) only to lose it again.
I have tried gamban on a number of occasions (as well as everything else).
Right now I'm having cravings, but I'm posting here instead of gambling... in the hope to get to day 1 tomorrow.
In two days, I get paid - it's critical I put that money away safely..., I hope to post saying that I have successfully put it away.. and then perhaps I'll make a post on here discussing my current financial situation and hopefully allow some clarity of thought how I can psychologically and financially save my life.
