Today sees another new start for me. Managed a week then spent every penny I had last night 🙁 gutted. Can't speak to my dad although I borrowed the money of him, he just won't understand. Felt like driving into a tree this morning, it's got that bad. No money once again, will this ever end? I hate gambling!! 🙁
we all have slips , it doesnt make it right but , just dont let it happen again. remember how you felt when you lost your dads money , remember that every time you get another urge , believe me that will help , get selfexcuding hand your cards over to somebody or destroy them if you can live without them , unless you get serious you wont beat this , get serious and you will beat this , telling your dad might help but i understand if you dont want to tell him , another option is have you wages or whatever paid into someones acount then just leave in your account what you need or get them to give you a small allowance to live on , i am by no means an expert at giving up as i have since being on here had a slip , but hopefully i have learned my lesson , well done for being here and making a gamble free start
Thanks for the help. I'm always so ashamed, seeing statements covered in gambling transactions. God knows how much money I would have if I had never placed that first bet. Only I can change my future. Good luck to you all, together we will beat this. We are in the right place, one day at a time x
Good luck angie. Just keep putting your thoughts down here. All the time. It really does help to distract our poisoned brains. Im just getting started once again so ill try to support u. Dont drive into a tree mate. Chin up we can beat it.

I hope you stick around with this same thread long enough to see the benefits of abstinence.
There is a triangle
Time - money -location
Take one away at all times and the punt becomes impossible.
I lost count of the times I burrowed off those I profess to love only to let my addiction see it as a gift, only to then throw the lot away, leaving me ashamed and self loathing,bottom line is the money wasted, I never got to enjoy a penny of their hard earnt and until I found recovery nor did they!!Truth is I was stealing from them to feed my addiction
Be honest with your father, shut the door on future losses there.
Abstain and maintain
Duncs stepping forward never back.
