Hi folks,
Reading this thread struck a chord with me, more so the part….
‘not gunna lie I’ve had a few numbs and put daft bets on no benders quite yet just daft £10, £20 here and there but I feel I am starting to understand it more and it’s helping me out a lot’
I’ve been there and trust me it will never work, you need to completely re think how your brain sees gambling, as a cg you can’t expect to all of a sudden just gamble small amounts, you won’t, it will lead you back to where you were.
Stop the gambling completely, 100%, see it as a complete negative, because that is exactly what it is. You have to want to truly give up the habit 100%, not just 85% with the odd bet here and there, I promise you, as someone who has done that it will never work and you will be back to square one.
Stop completely, take it one day at a time …. we can all give up, but you have to truly want to for yourself. Feel free to read my first blog on the below link. I am also going to keep making journal entries on here, I really do find it therapeutic and a positive to stop me in my tracks whenever I get the cravings to gamble.
Believe in yourself, we can all do it.
Darren.
