Hi D,
Well done on looking for help.
First the bad news – it is a GAMBLING addiction. Whilst it is the online sports betting that has brought you here you will find it very difficult to stop doing this while still visiting the casinos with your uncle. If you continue gambling with your uncle then even if you manage to stop the online betting the addiction is more than likely to just switch to another form of gambling.
Now the good news, you can stop gambling. Read the other stories here – you will see the sort of things that have helped others, you can apply them to your own situation.
How else can you fill your time?
It will help if you are honest with those around you – your uncle needs to know you have decided to stop. Your mum or girlfriend could help with accountability. You already say that your mood swings effect those around you – if they don’t know about your gambling then they probably know there is something wrong anyway.
Keep posting.
Hi DCH,
Well done on looking for help. Did you close that casino account? It is a good move of course but I would recommend going one step further – ask them to ban you. That way you can’t reopen it. As others have mentioned, a blocker is also a good idea – it’ll stop you finding other sityes if/when the urges return.
I would agree with I did IT, anyone can return to gambling and in my opinion there is no such thing as a recoverED addict. If we need help to stop gambling then the trick is to keep using support to maintain recovery as well.

Hi Maverick.
No magic wands available. This Christmas might not be the best one… what you do now though will be what will determine what future Christmases will be like. Keep posting, let us know what barriers and steps you are putting in place.
Bravo Johnny
Well done Johnny

Hi Mark, well done on your gamble free time. You can use your awareness about Christmas being a trigger. Plan your time, have your barriers particularly high. Have a great Christmas and keep posting.
Здравейте Моника, съжалявам, ако смятате, че съветът е банален, но това, което се опитвах да направя, беше, че колкото и да са лоши нещата, те биха били по -лоши с хазарта все още в живота ни. За съжаление познавам хора със същите ограничени доходи, които в момента имате, които все още играят хазарт и не са взели същото решение да спрат хазарта, което имате.
Salut Monica, désolé si vous pensez que le conseil était banal, mais le point que j'essayais de faire était que, même si les choses étaient mauvaises, elles seraient pires si le jeu était encore dans nos vies. Malheureusement, je connais des personnes avec le même revenu limité que vous avez actuellement qui jouent toujours et qui n'ont pas pris la même décision d'arrêter de jouer que vous.
Merhaba Monica, tavsiyenin basmakalıp olduğunu düşünüyorsanız üzgünüm ama yapmaya çalıştığım nokta, işler ne kadar kötü olursa olsun, hayatımızda kumar oynamanın daha da kötü olacağıydı. Ne yazık ki, şu anda sahip olduğunuz aynı sınırlı gelire sahip, hala kumar oynayan ve sahip olduğunuz kumarı bırakma kararını vermemiş insanlar tanıyorum.
ਹੈਲੋ ਮੋਨਿਕਾ, ਮਾਫ ਕਰਨਾ ਜੇ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸੋਚਦੇ ਹੋ ਕਿ ਇਹ ਸਲਾਹ ਸੁਨਹਿਰੀ ਸੀ ਪਰ ਜਿਸ ਨੁਕਤੇ ਨੂੰ ਮੈਂ ਬਣਾਉਣ ਦੀ ਕੋਸ਼ਿਸ਼ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਸੀ ਉਹ ਇਹ ਸੀ ਕਿ ਜੋ ਵੀ ਮਾੜੀਆਂ ਚੀਜ਼ਾਂ ਹਨ ਉਹ ਸਾਡੀ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਜੇ ਵੀ ਜੂਏਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਨਾਲ ਬਦਤਰ ਹੋਣਗੀਆਂ. ਅਫ਼ਸੋਸ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਮੈਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਜੋ ਤੁਹਾਡੀ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਸੀਮਤ ਆਮਦਨੀ 'ਤੇ ਹਨ ਜੋ ਅਜੇ ਵੀ ਜੂਆ ਖੇਡ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ ਅਤੇ ਤੁਹਾਡੇ ਕੋਲ ਜੂਏਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ ਦਾ ਉਹੀ ਫੈਸਲਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ.
Oi Monica, desculpe se você achou o conselho banal, mas o que eu estava tentando enfatizar é que, por pior que sejam as coisas, elas seriam piores com o jogo ainda em nossas vidas. Infelizmente, conheço pessoas com a mesma renda limitada que você atualmente tem que ainda estão jogando e não tomaram a mesma decisão de parar de jogar que você.
Hallo Monica, sorry als je denkt dat het advies afgezaagd was, maar het punt dat ik probeerde te maken was dat hoe erg de dingen ook zijn, ze erger zouden zijn als we nog steeds in ons leven gokken. Helaas ken ik mensen met hetzelfde beperkte inkomen dat u momenteel heeft, die nog steeds aan het gokken zijn en niet dezelfde beslissing hebben genomen om te stoppen met gokken als u.
