you thread is great, i have just read the first 8 pages, i will leave the rest for later because i will be going to bed. so much i can relate to, you were the first to help me get my self exclusion i will never forget that. i have attempted quitting so many times for so many years, but with the help of gt i think i will reach my goal of 90 days, i have set this goal to not be too unrealisic and not too easy, hopefully i will keep going further. i am on 13 days this time round, i got through pay day and rent day, i just remember that anxiety i felt that i was low on money and if i was going to gamble my rent. but somehow i had a better judgement and was able to pay the rent. i didn’t want to be that broken by gambling. i don’t have support of family, so i have to rely entirely on myself. i am all i have when in terms of money. i do have friends some are supportive when it comes to gambling they encourage me to avoid gambling, however my best friend has been lient, he often dropped me off at the venues after i begged sufficiently enough, at first he would say no i shouldn’t gamble then he would give in to my demands, anyway, everyday i came home with no money won. when i did have an occasional win, i felt enormously happy i walked away that day ahead thinking i had beat the machines, lol…back the next day, all the money won was just a fallacy. i had lost so much already and then i would go straight back first thing in the morning if not on the same day i had "walked away". i learnt the hard way.
i hope to read further on your thread to catch up with how things went for you, and how they are going for you today. thank you for posting. i need help
