Hi Dave,

The only reason we stop gambling is we don’t have enough money to play with, If I even have 100 dollars, we feel like we can make it to 25k which is not the reality, we always ends up losing but still goes there to place the bets. Life sucks, i think there should be complete ban on all the sites, otherwise someway or the other we will find ways to play.

We are already addicted and there is no way going back. Thats the harsh reality

Hi Dave,

Keep it going! you can stop and be free of gambling, it is an attitude you have decided yesterday and it is not going to be easy, so what! I have made the decision to stop betting today, there is not a single minute my head is thinking to open another account, but I put my decision first and I will not bet!

Keep it strong, one day at a time and I am sure you will do it! don’t give up

Hi Dave,

Another Dave here as well and best to take it one day a time
