Hello, first off I’d like to say that im not the average sports gambler, casino gambler, or anything ordinary like that. I gamble with online video game skins, games like CS:GO, PUBG, H1Z1. I can’t seem to stop, I’ve lost so much and I really want to stop, but something tells me to just keep going. I recently lost a large amount of money (to me atleast), and I told a friend, he said I should do something like this and maybe it would help, so here I am. I’m going to try to not gamble for 24 hours, and once thats up just tell myself not to gamble for 48 hours, and on and on, I’ll try to update this, but this was probably really bad.

Hi IDK,
I don’t have any understanding of the gambling you do but I do know that addiction stinks- it take over our thoughts and our time leaving is with little room for anything else .
Well done On seeking help.Is there a blocker for this type of gambling ? Can u destroy credit cards or close accounts? Any barriers you can out in place to make it difficult to gamble will help to give you thinking time .
Well done on recognising that you have a problem and coming here and seeking help .
Try to find nice things to do instead of gambling .I hope this helps and I hope you keep posting .
