My name is David it’s payday again with 4 hours I have nothing again and owe my wages out which I haven’t got., This has been going on for as long as I can remember. I’ve just joined the forum and feel if I stick to plan I will beat this.i have lost 1000s over the years yet I still go back like a boxer coming off the ropes but I never win never have I can tell you some terrific wins but the loses always always out weigh them. I’ve always had the right intentions but they never end well I feel such a failure I’m 47 but feel 87 so down but I will overcome it if don’t I’ll probably due can’t see any other ending I can chat about experiences in ever bookmakers or on gambling site I’ve been on but as we all know the sadness and heartbreak when you walk out is like nothing else so I i don’t think it’s how much I lose im empty all the time sometimes when I gamble I know I’m Gunnar lose before I gamble but there’s always a plan b and c and d and I have no embarrassment asking for money until I spend it gambling and the it hits home hwhat I have done I will update my journal and hopehopefully the will be some kind of light tomorrow is day 1

Well done on taking the first step on the road to recovery, David.
Thanks for reminding me of that empty feeling when we walk out, battered and bruised after losing our last cent.
I did it for years.
There IS a different route you can take. David. You know that a CG will never win. That’s a start. When we realize that fully, we will never gamble again. -
Oh my, that empty numb feeling, I remeber that well. Isn’t it the most awful feeling. I could feel myself going white, clammy and an almost out of body experience as the reality hit in on how much I had lost….and what I had done again. That we another reason why we can not and will not gamble again.
