    Bırakma kararının 2. günündeyim, bu yüzden 9 gün benim için bir hedef- unutma, kumar oynamadan ne kadar az zaman geçirmiş olursan ol, arkandaki insanlar için bir ilham kaynağısın. ! Gölün tadını çıkarın, çok güzel ve huzurlu olacak gibi!

    میں چھوڑنے کے حل کے دوسرے دن ہوں ، اس لیے 9 دن میرے لیے ایک ہدف ہے- یہ نہ بھولیں کہ چاہے کتنا ہی کم وقت کیوں نہ لگے کہ آپ جوئے کے بغیر چلے گئے ہیں ، آپ اپنے پیچھے لوگوں کے لیے ایک حوصلہ افزائی ہیں ! جھیل سے لطف اٹھائیں ، ایسا لگتا ہے کہ یہ واقعی اچھا اور پرامن ہوگا!

    Jsem ve dni 2, kdy jsem se rozhodl skončit, takže 9 dní je pro mě cíl- nezapomeňte, že bez ohledu na to, jak málo času to vypadá, že jste odešli bez hazardu, jste inspirací pro lidi za vámi ! Užijte si jezero, vypadá to, že bude opravdu pěkné a klidné!

    Talked to my family about my gambling and resolving to quit. It was really hard and embarrassing to admit that I’ve been making poor choices. I feel conflicted emotions about it- both relief that other people know and are supportive and a tinge of resentment over being lectured- but ultimately both are valuable in my journey (the latter is one of the consequences I’ll have to deal with on the road to being more accountable). Overall everyone has been really supportive though.

    nI’ve designed a budget that could pay off my debts in around 5 years if I stick with it. That really sucks- in the back of my mind I keep having this magical thinking of “well maybe if I get this money pot that falls in my lap blah blah blah…” But I have to accept that this is 1) the realistic slow path, 2) actually achievable with effort and 3) won’t be a waste of time energy and money the way gambling is. It’s a cliche but “the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” and all that. I’ll update everyone with how that goes.

    Thank you! It’s been harder than I thought to be honest. Less than 24 hours and my brain is already trying to sabotage myself, saying “well you aren’t THAT deep in the hole, maybe after your paycheck…” BUT I put some locks on my phone apps, have a few people I asked to hold me accountable, have another app about managing debts and anxiety… So I’m hopeful that I can stick with it!

    Thanks steev, this was very helpful! I have been guilty of number 4 a lot particularly, putting emotional reactions ahead of my logical brain. Thanks for sharing tips!

    Спасибо, Steev, это было очень полезно! В частности, я был виноват в пункте 4, ставя эмоциональные реакции выше моего логического ума. Спасибо, что поделились советами!

    It’s only been a few days for me but I’ve been having similar symptoms, headaches and stomache aches. I think that (at least for me) these are anxiety symptoms related to debt and keeping up with the obligation of gambling- hopefully they go away as we get further and further away from the addictive spiral. Everyone’s experience seems to be slightly different though.

    I really feel what you mean about the relief from not having to constantly check mobile gambling apps- you tie so much of your hopes and fears into them. The relief is a reminder that doing this wasn’t benefiting our lives in any way.

    Hang in there, you’re doing great!

    Изминаха само няколко дни за мен, но имах подобни симптоми, главоболие и болки в стомаха. Мисля, че (поне за мен) това са симптоми на тревожност, свързани с дълга и поддържането на задължението за хазарт- надявам се, че те изчезват, докато се отдалечаваме все повече и повече от спиралата на пристрастяването. Опитът на всеки изглежда е малко по -различен.

    Наистина чувствам какво искаш да кажеш за облекчението, че не се налага постоянно да проверяваш мобилни приложения за хазарт- свързваш толкова много от своите надежди и страхове в тях. Облекчението е напомняне, че това не е било от полза за живота ни по никакъв начин.

    Дръж се, справяш се чудесно!

    Het is nog maar een paar dagen voor mij, maar ik heb soortgelijke symptomen, hoofdpijn en buikpijn. Ik denk dat (althans voor mij) dit angstsymptomen zijn die verband houden met schulden en het nakomen van de verplichting om te gokken – hopelijk verdwijnen ze naarmate we verder en verder weg komen van de verslavende spiraal. De ervaring van iedereen lijkt echter iets anders te zijn.

    Ik voel echt wat je bedoelt met de opluchting dat je niet constant mobiele gok-apps hoeft te controleren – je koppelt er zoveel van je hoop en angst aan. De opluchting herinnert ons eraan dat dit ons leven op geen enkele manier ten goede kwam.

    Hou vol, je bent goed bezig!

    У меня прошло всего несколько дней, но у меня были похожие симптомы, головные боли и боли в животе. Я думаю, что (по крайней мере, для меня) это симптомы тревоги, связанные с долгами и соблюдением обязательств по азартным играм – надеюсь, они исчезнут по мере того, как мы все дальше и дальше удаляемся от спирали зависимости. Впрочем, у всех немного разный опыт.

    Я действительно чувствую, что вы имеете в виду, говоря об освобождении от необходимости постоянно проверять мобильные азартные игры – вы связываете с ними так много своих надежд и страхов. Облегчение – это напоминание о том, что это никак не пошло на пользу нашей жизни.

    Держись, у тебя все отлично!
