***** Hopingforhelp, Help is something that I have plenty of over the years but whenever I have been bailed out of my gambling debt within a month or 2 I have always managed to get back into debt again. I have lost many things money,houses,business,cars, time, well you could say everything. I have contemplated suicide many ***** and have tried a couple of half hearted attempts at it . A bit sad really why gambling can do this to someone make them want to take their own life. I am currently unemployed and living back with my parents now. After losing my home due to gambling. Gambling is good when you are winning but if you have been gambling long enough we all know that does not last. There is no sure fire remedy to quit gambling . I have tried many,many ***** over the course of 30 or so years. I have read many books on the subject and have known people to abstain from gambling for years and then something like bad news or a relationship breakdown happens and they go back to gambling even stronger then last time and manage to lose everything again. Worsening the situation they are in. We all know the only thing that gambling is,is pain ,misery and suffering to mention just a few points that it does to you. Now having nothing not even a penny in the bank ,I have to rely on hand outs from my mum to buy food. It is not like I do not want to work but work is hard to come by now I have tried extremely hard looking for work. But the problem really is gambling, were it not for gambling I could probably retire tomorrow and live a good life. But gambling has taken that option away from me and many others here on this site. I have stopped gambling for about two weeks now and hope when I get any money in the future I have the strength not to gamble. For the first time in 30 years I feel the need not to gamble and feel that it has taken enough from me now. Best wishes to you I hope you can find a way to stop this terrible disease.
