After 8 years of compulsive gambling on roulette and sports betting I made the decision on saturday that I never wanted to gamble again following a week off where I lost a lot of money!
Was sick of losing money, wasting time, chasing losses, being addicted, low moods/stress anxiety, run down/ having to lie and hide it.
So I made the decision that I am now free of gambling and no longer want to or will gamble ever again.
So half way through day 4 feeling good! having some urges but this time I feel like I can do it!
anyone who has stopped longer any advice/thoughts!
Well done mate thats good you have took the 1st steps,its a very hard thing to do I have tryed to stop several times myself.best thing to do is try and keep busy and only carry enough cash you need. No bet today will make a better tomorrow.goodluck to you keep on here will also help.

Thanks mate. The urges have been really strong at times today but have got through it and looking forward to rebuilding my life and taking responsibility for my actions.
For too long the addiction controlled me and I am determined to overcome this.
I simply could no longer continue gambling or living the way I was fear I would have had a breakdown.
Onwards and upwards!
