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.
Well done Johnny
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.
안녕 모니카, 당신이 조언이 진부하다고 생각한다면 미안하지만 내가 말하려고 하는 요점은 아무리 나쁜 일이 우리 삶에 여전히 도박을 하면 더 나빠질 것이라는 것입니다. 슬프게도 나는 당신이 현재 가지고 있는 제한된 수입으로 여전히 도박을 하고 있고 당신이 가지고 있는 것과 같은 도박을 중단하기로 같은 결정을 내리지 않은 사람들을 알고 있습니다.
Ciao Monica, scusa se pensi che il consiglio sia stato banale, ma il punto che stavo cercando di fare era che per quanto le cose brutte sarebbero state peggio con il gioco d'azzardo ancora nelle nostre vite. Purtroppo conosco persone con lo stesso reddito limitato che hai attualmente che stanno ancora giocando e non hanno preso la stessa decisione di smettere di giocare che hai tu.
ہائے مونیکا ، معذرت اگر آپ کو لگتا ہے کہ یہ مشورہ معمولی تھا لیکن جس نکتہ کو میں بنانے کی کوشش کر رہا تھا وہ یہ تھی کہ جو بھی بری چیزیں ہیں وہ ہماری زندگی میں جوئے کے ساتھ بدتر ہوں گی۔ افسوس کی بات ہے کہ میں ان لوگوں کو جانتا ہوں جو آپ کی فی الحال اسی محدود آمدنی پر ہیں جو ابھی تک جوا کھیل رہے ہیں اور آپ نے جوئے کو روکنے کا کوئی فیصلہ نہیں کیا ہے۔
Sveiki, Monika, atsiprašau, jei manote, kad patarimas buvo menkas, bet aš norėjau pasakyti, kad, kad ir kokie blogi dalykai būtų, blogiau būtų, jei mūsų gyvenime vis dar būtų lošimų. Deja, pažįstu žmonių, kurių pajamos yra tokios pačios, kaip ir šiuo metu, kurie vis dar lošia ir nepriėmė to paties sprendimo nutraukti lošimą.
Hallo Monica, es tut mir leid, wenn Sie denken, der Rat sei banal, aber der Punkt, den ich zu sagen versuchte, war, dass die Dinge noch schlimmer wären, wenn das Glücksspiel noch in unserem Leben wäre. Leider kenne ich Leute mit dem gleichen begrenzten Einkommen, die Sie derzeit haben, die immer noch spielen und nicht die gleiche Entscheidung getroffen haben, mit dem Spielen aufzuhören wie Sie.
Hai Monica, maaf jika menurut Anda saran itu basi, tetapi poin yang saya coba sampaikan adalah bahwa betapapun buruknya, itu akan menjadi lebih buruk dengan perjudian masih ada dalam hidup kita. Sayangnya saya tahu orang-orang dengan pendapatan terbatas yang sama dengan yang Anda miliki saat ini yang masih berjudi dan belum membuat keputusan yang sama untuk berhenti berjudi seperti yang Anda miliki.
