This can't happen ever again!

Hi, I am 25. Still young.. Just don't want this to be a problem for the rest of my life, and I feel I still can't say it won't. #1week

Hi just checking in, almost at 3 weeks. The urges are still incredibly hard! 🙁

The sad thing is it will keep happening over and over again if you keep gambling! 20 years I been in this hell! Lost a 1000 this week and 1700 last week! Fobts are my addiction! Been waking up feeling terrible and thinking WHY do I do this to myself

Hi Angie

Keep going - There is plenty of time to sort stuff out! I am a new user so though i would introduce myself, I too am only 25, though this addiction has been hanging around for over 5 years. I have done two weeks without, but every day is a struggle for me as it is still occupying my mind every day, hopefully this will begin to fade.

Hi everyone and thanks for the comments. Just back from my counselling tonight, I have been gamble free for 4 weeks and 5 days but still finding it hard. I dream about the spinning wheel and wake up wanting to play! 🙁

Hi everyone, I am 8 weeks and 2 days gamble free. It is still a struggle every day to resist going on the websites. Don't want to give in now I've come this far.

These last few weeks I have been gambling lots. I'm over £1000 down, keep chasing losses. Will this ever end?? 🙁

It will end when you choose it too. I know that sounds harsh, but put some blocks in place, so you cannot gamble, yes there is always a way..But make it difficult. You need to get off the merry go round.

Best wishes

Thanks Julie. Had a bad few days, I'm so gutted. I've been an addict for 6 years, had a few gamble free months lately and back in the trap. Can't stop.

My heart goes out to you Angie , all you can do is try again with a fresh mindset . No point beating yourself up , it's done and it's in the past . Sadly the money you have given them is gone forever but you don't need to give them any more . You managed 58 days plus which was a big achievement ,

Wishing you well in your recovery and happier times ahead . Stephen

You can stop, you just have to choose to stop....there is a choice here...it is not pretty, it is not easy, it d**n hard work, and really digging in, but if depends on the life that you choose to have.

Day 1 today, I've done it before I can do it again!
