Why am I such an idiot

Had another bad day again today. Just have no willpower lately. Really need to tell myself no!! Day one again tomorrow. Fingers crossed, will keep you updated. X

I remember you from before, I've been back and forward to this site many times, am on Day 4 today of about my 6th attempt to give up, I feel more determined this time I think with it being the beginning of a New Year, also just had my credit card bill this morning and it was unbelievable how much money I had wasted!!!! I seem to be spending more and more every month and am now in mega debt. We can never win with gambling because we can't stop and just keep putting more and more money down. You can do it and beat this addiction, I will try to support you wherever I can, keep strong S x

Sorry girl - going to be a bit tough on you here and ask some questions.......

- how are you gambling? Ie in the lapses you've had, has it been online, bookies, bingo, slots etc

- how serious are you about stopping and how much do you want to?

- how far will you go to stop?

- who knows about your gambling?

There are numerous people willing you to beat this in a way you'll never ever ever beat a machine or a bookie. However, you need to want it way more for you than we want it for you.

Just remember that I want everyone to beat this and will support you all the way.

Good luck,

Mr Brightside

Hi Mr Brightside, I think I need someone to be tough on me! I'm gambling online on roulette, I had blocked myself from every site possible, then opened one under a different name (disgraceful I know!). I am very serious about stopping, this has been going on over 3 years, I want to go to bed at night without the guilt and distress. I want to feel like I have a life away from the roulette table. My best friend knows every time I gamble, she's supportive but don't think she quiet understands how it makes me feel. I think she sees it more as greed. I don't even know why I want to gamble anymore. I know deep down I will never win big, and I will come away with feelings so low I sometimes wish I could just disappear. I know I need help, but only I can truly help myself.

Thanks aswell Subox. Will try and support you too, good luck x
