Today is my day 1 of quitting, i am leaving gambling behind and i took an oath and promised God that never again i will play any kind of game of chance since 16 until now all i have done is Gamble i am 26 now.

Good question. Let me put it like this. If you do this long enough you burn those feelings to such an extent that you lose contact with them all together.  Long term addicts have this (including me).  So in short you can lose all feelings that you now carry and feel bad about but remember this. You are the only one who creates these feelings. They start and stop with you. If you decide to feel different you will feel different.

There is an interesting guy online called David Goggins. Have a look at his life. The way he overcomes his cravings and triggers by going the extra mile.

Everything can change. You just need to decide to change it and you will. I wish you well!

Best

Thanks for your comment, i am going to try i dont know what it will be like in the future but step by step ill get there.

i am going to diary my GF days to motivate myself 

Just read your story thank you for sharing it, That feeling you are talking about gets worse and worse the more you gamble . That was the case for me anyway, then I would win and it would give me a high and then lose and low again…. After so many ups and down the downs start to far out way the ups! Try and get some support if you can. I told my partner , spoke with my Gp, got medication to help with my mental health . Joined here to speak with like minded people. I have been Gf now for two years and it gets better and you begin to feel hopeful…. So brave posting on here keep it going . How have you been getting on the past few days? Not sure what kind of gambling you done? Online , bookies etc ? Have you excluded yourself or put blocks in place for the days temptation is overwhelming? 

nearly about to reach a week, 

Thanks for your reply, I excluded myself from all the bookies and i am registered on gamstop but i was playing on crypto betting websites.

i am hoping i can carry on like this i dont enjoy the feeling of constantly playing and not getting anywhere its a very expensive habit which can ruin you and i start to realize how far behind in life i really am i am avoiding those feelings at the moment but i will deal with them.

thanks 

Today will be day 7 😀 

day 23 🙂
