      …..

      I Always knew i should never go to a Casino.
      Because i knew, i cant controll myself.

      Im a very addictive Person.
      I used to smoke, drink, take drugs etc.

      I Quit everything.

      Since then my life became great.

      I have a beautiful Grilfriend since 4 years.
      Nice job, nice life.
      And im actualy now on a 1 year world trip trought the World.

      that was before i started gambling
      …..

      The only game i used to play for money was poker with my friends.
      Always just for around 20$ . No big deal.

      This all changed now.
      I discovered the online gambling World a few months ago.

      I totaly lost around 5000$… and this on a Wordtrip… here we could stay months longer with that money.

      My Girlfriend is often sad because sometimes i lost alot like 1000$ and wanted to get it back so i wanted to post another 1000$ in to get it back.

      One time she tried to stop me and i piushd her away and totaly lost controll of myself. She was crying alot…

      I dont know what to do…

      I blocked my credit card ( my girl forced me too ) …. i already self excludet me from nearly every poker site…. but i always find a way too start again….

      I made a account with the name of my girlfriend to continue…. it got blocked now idk why yet….

      yee… i dont know… i feel really stupid… cant belive i lost so much money..

      sometimes i even stole the cards from my Girlfriend and used it…

      I always told her the next day… she was always very angry but she always forgive me…

      But i lknow if i wont stop gambling she will brreak up with me…
      ….

      I know my only chance is to stop gambling forever!!!
      But its so addictive. ….

      Im gamblingn with my Tablet btw 😛
      One time i nearly destroyed our trip.
      I deposited so much on the site that my credit card limit was totaly iused.
      I had a lucky sleepless nightb and managed to win Totaly nearly 5000$.
      otherwise i would have lost already around 10000$

      Im 21…. thats troo much money im playing with…

      thx for reading ….

      Hi Nr23, I hope you are still reading. If it was that easy there would be no addicts in the world, we would all be “cured”.

      Maybe hang around a little and stay close to support. What did you get from the book? What positive changes are you making in your life?

      There’s a good chance that at 21 you haven’t made any irreparable damage to your brain as most of us have and that the addiction didn’t get through to your bones.
      But don’t take it lightly. They’ve built billion dollar casinos with money from people who, just like you, thought they would never gamble again.

      Sorry i didnt wanna say it was easy to stop gambling!
      But the truth is… With hes method it is indeed easy!

      I used to smoke 6 years… i always tried to stop… it was sooo hard and i always started again..

      But with books of allen carr… quitting becomes easy.

      He destroys the illusion that the addiction gives you anything.
      So what it did it took my desire too gamble… forever!
      and that has nothing to do that im 21.
      I was brainwashed too.

      Now i had a totaly fine day without even the need to gamble … i never tought this would be possible!

      i just wanna make it short…

      Just read the book!

      its just a few dollars.

      I even bought the hearing book wich made it totaly nice to listend.

      WITH HES METHOD, IT IS EASY TO STOP!

      I smoked, drinked , took drugs, gambled and stopd everything with hes books! Why should i lie?

      Just try it yourself it saved my life, it can save yours too!

      It took all the brainwash i had

      Illusion its all in the head.

      and to your question what positive changes i make?

      I stop losing money, my gf wont break up, i will get my self respect back, im not anymore a emotional wreck, i can enjoy life again without sleeples nights, im less stressd, i dont need to hide someting, i dont need to feel ashamed anymore, i havew a bright future, i feel happy, i can pay all my bills,

      The only thing the book takes you, is the illusion that gambling provides you some sort of nice feeling or what ever.

      You wont give up anything by stopping.
      You will only lose if you continue gambling.
      You cant get out of your missery with gambling.
      Gambling caused all the misery.

      sry again for my bad english.

      I hope i can inspire some ppls to read the book.
      If u have no Money i buy the ebook via amazon for some of you.
      It would be a pleasure!

      write me here if u want the book but cant pay it… i can send you the ebook via amazon i guess.

      hope you all get cured like i was !

      So pleased for you that you have beaten this addiction. I have been gamble free since December and it is a great feeling. I have found the support on here to be so helpful.
      This book must be so amazing that in four days you can pay all your bills and know the addiction is gone ! After almost two months I sometimes feel the addiction is gone but usually it is just waiting until I let my guard down..
      Please be careful NR23. Many on here have read the book, been convinced they are cured and then found themselves back in the cycle of gambling . I have tried many things and felt I’d left the addiction behind and then it struck again.
      Most of us already know we won’t ever win… Unfortunately that knowledge doesn’t seem to stop us trying . Keeping your barriers high wont do any harm . I truly hope you have beaten this addiction..

      thanks for the reply 🙂

      I will quit gambling therapy now, because it makes me very sad what gambling cause all those people!

      I hope this Thread will help atleast 1 person.

      All i can say is read the Book.

      I will return the day i will gamble again! ( probably in 150 years with a different name)

      greetings and good luck

      Hi NR here is a thought for you,

      You used books by this author to quit several previous problems you had in the past? then moved an to anther problem? Then eventually on to gambling? Switching from one problem to another isn’t what many would describe as working recovery? As I asked before what positive changes has this book meant to you? What positive changes are you making to your life so that gambling isn’t replaced by yet another addiction?
