No need to apologise OB. To make the most of support though it will help you to have your own thread as well. if you scroll to the bottom of this Forum and click on New Topic you can do that. You will get a lot of feedback. keep reading the other stories as well – you can apply the things that are helping other people to your own recovery.
Hi IDI, well done on your gamble free time. I can relate to what you say about the bingo; I always thought I would struggle to avoid the after work card schools, it turned out that when I stopped gambling there weren’t any! Well done on cutting out the bingo and lottery as well. Starve the addiction.
it’s a gamblign addiction, you gave up the scratch cards and now the slots has become a problem – the addiction doesnt mind how it gets it’s fix.
If you even felt the need to find and post on a site like this one then you might now be kidding yourself if you think it’s a “just for fun sort of thing.”
If it’s not that bad for you great, but if you carry on gambling then the word missing from that sentence might be YET.
I hope you make the decision to stop now, keep posting and use the support availableto you to do so.
Hi Melpitt, read teh otehr stories here, you will see the sort of things that have helped others stop gambling.
How about before next payday you get yourself banned from that casino? How about before next payday you make arrangements so that your wages go straight into a family members account?
Those are the sort of barriers that Jappy is talking about.
Don’t try to understand why you are drawn to the casino – it is an addiction, you have it, there may not even be a “why”
Keep posting.
Hi Mark,
I am sure you realise that those “free” gifts are far from free. The money you have lost would probably have got you a private audience with Jay Leno.
Get yourself banned from those casinos, when you go to get banned I would suggest going with no money on you, maybe take your g/f with you, then you can’t get tempted to have a final fling.
Keep posting here, get to that next GA meeting. You can stop gambling.
Hi I Did it, well done on deciding to get back to GA.
I’m not going to tell you you should try the residential but what I would say is re-read what you have written; one of the things that is putting you off is the family session thing? That might not even happen and you might be worrying about something unnecessarily. What I am trying to say, in a rambling type of way is that if you think it might be an option for you then check it out, speak to someone, you might be able to remove an unnecessary obstacle.
Keep posting and well done for telling us about your experieinces
Hi Fitz,
OK, so you have a gambling addiction. You also have depression. Whilst I can see both triggering each otehr in a very viscious circle they are still both problems in their own right.
If you need depression tablets then that should be what your Dr has decided is the best course for your depression, not to somehow stop the gambling.
There is a lot of support for your addiction, read the other stories here, you will see a lot of things you will relate to. You will also see the success stories – what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation? What barriers can you put in place?
As Monicau has said GA is another option – Gamblers Anonymous. Check them out as well.
You are willing to try anything? Well I hope I have given you a few places to start. Keep posting and let us know the positive steps that you are taking.
Merhaba Kris, sana söz veriyorum durabilirsin. My Journal Forum'a bir göz atın. İlgili olacağınız birçok hikaye okuyacaksınız. Ayrıca başarı öykülerini ve başkalarının kumar oynamayı bırakmasına yardımcı olan şeyleri de göreceksiniz. İşin püf noktası, bunu kendi başınıza yapmaya çalışmamaktır – eğer bu işe yarasaydı, o zaman hiçbirimiz burada olmazdık. Günlüğüm Forumu'nun en altına iner ve "Yeni Konu"ya tıklarsanız, bize biraz kendi hikayenizden ve durumunuzdan bahsedebilirsiniz. Orada çok fazla geri bildirim ve destek alacaksınız.
Cześć Kris, możesz przestać, obiecuję ci. Zajrzyj na Forum My Journal. Przeczytasz wiele historii, do których będziesz się odnosił. Zobaczysz także historie sukcesu i rzeczy, które pomagają innym przestać grać. Sztuką jest nie próbować robić tego samemu – gdyby to zadziałało, nikogo z nas by tu nie było. Jeśli przewiniesz na sam dół Forum Mojego Dziennika i klikniesz „Nowy temat”, możesz opowiedzieć nam trochę o swojej historii i sytuacji. Otrzymasz tam wiele informacji zwrotnych i wsparcia.
こんにちはクリス、あなたは私があなたに約束するのをやめることができます。 MyJournalフォーラムをご覧ください。あなたはあなたが関係するであろうたくさんの物語を読むでしょう。また、サクセスストーリーや、他の人がギャンブルをやめるのに役立っていることもわかります。秘訣は、自分でそれをやろうとしないことです-それがうまくいったら、私たちの誰もここにいないでしょう。マイジャーナルフォーラムの一番下までスクロールして[新しいトピック]をクリックすると、あなた自身のストーリーと状況について少し教えていただけます。あなたはそこでたくさんのフィードバックとサポートを得るでしょう。
Γεια σου Kris, μπορείς να σταματήσεις, σου το υπόσχομαι. Ρίξτε μια ματιά στο φόρουμ του My Journal. Θα διαβάσετε πολλές ιστορίες με τις οποίες θα σχετίζεστε. Θα δείτε επίσης τις επιτυχημένες ιστορίες και τα πράγματα που βοηθούν τους άλλους να σταματήσουν τον τζόγο. Το κόλπο είναι να μην προσπαθήσετε να το κάνετε μόνοι σας – αν αυτό λειτουργούσε, τότε κανένας από εμάς δεν θα ήταν εδώ. Εάν μετακινηθείτε στο κάτω μέρος του φόρουμ My Journal και κάνετε κλικ στο "Νέο θέμα", μπορείτε να μας πείτε λίγα λόγια για τη δική σας ιστορία και κατάσταση. Θα λάβετε πολλά σχόλια και υποστήριξη εκεί.
