This is my first day without playing online slots, bingo, scratch cards ... As you can imagine I feel horrible .. I will fight now to get my normal life back after 2 lost years because of gambling .. Wish me luck 🙂
There is always hope ..
Good luck Ewe, A good start would be to self-exclude yourself from as many institutions as possible
Remember to keep yourself busy and maintain a good support system to make sure you don't fall into old habits. You cannot win gambling, remind yourself that!
Glad you are here Ewe! Be good to yourself. T2

Hi ewe, it sounds like your having a tough time at the moment. With no gambling will come some extra money and less stress and in a few months time you'll find yourself in a much better position. I've been gambling for over 15 years and I'm only 34 years old. Iv haven't gambled for 46 days and it's mainly because of this site. A lot of people come and go after a few months but try and stuck at it (that's what I'm trying to do) and it will help. Good luck!!
Thank you guys for comments 🙂 I knew that this website will help me and for sure I'll stay here for a long time:) I'm 26 and about 2 years gambling .. About £15.000 or even more gone ... But nevermind that's only money I'm young, healthly and still have chance for normal life 🙂
You are right my friend.that word you used CHANCE can only be giving from yourself.i to was in your shoes at 26 and wished i had managed to give myself that better life but i chose not to and carry on gambling until 33.today am 11 days free from a bet and i will tell you what i feel good about it.wish you the very best of luck in your recovery.hang about at this site and it will give you all the support you could ever need.take care scottyboy
Hello and thank you guys for support for five days GF !:) New Year will be better... So glad I found this website ..:)
Day 7:) so proud 🙂 sometimes I haven't gamble for two weeks but only because I didn't have money ... This time is different I have some money but I don't want waste them playing stupid slots or scratchies .. I hope finally I understood that I always losed... I started enjoy simple things like spending time with my son without thinking from where I can get money for gambling ... Feel shame and pain that I losed so much time and money for gambling but I know that now can be only better 🙂 so happy I found this website .. Meetings at 8pm give me support and mire power to fight with my addiction 🙂 to be honest I didn't believe that only one hour online chat can help me but I was wrong and joining this website was actually the bedt decission in 2015 🙂
