Well done on your two days.

If the weekend was a big gambling time for you then try and plan the next two days with other things to fill both your time and thoughts.

Stay strong, one day at a time.

Hi Life and welcome to the site. Well done on starting your own thread here.

First of all from your posts I would say that I don’t think you are an unlucky gambler. You are a Compulsive gambler and there is a big difference.

It will help if you come to that realization yourself of course, check out the GA website and answer the 20 questions they have there and see what you think.

Read the other stories here, you will see a lot that you relate to. You will also see the success stories, what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation?

How about getting yourself banned from your local/usual bookies?

It also sounds like you have unaccountable, easy access to quite a lot of money. How can you limit that access? How can you make yourself accountable so that you can’t gamble secretly, can’t just pop up to the bank as soon as you get an urge?

Keep posting, let us know how you do with those GA questions and also let us know about the positive steps you can now take to make it harder to place your next bet.

Hi Erobitha and welcome. Well done on looking for help.

Firstly, to answer the title of this thread. “Don’t understand why I do it.” Initially, at least, you don’t need to understand why, you just have to address the fact.

Read the other stories here, you will see a lot that you will relate to. You will also see the success stories, what are they doing that you can apply to your own situation?

Does your partner know about your gambling? Or that it is a problem? They could certainly help you with accountability. It sounds like the online barriers might be easy for you to get around so financial barriers will help.

Keep posting and let us know what positive steps you are taking.

Recovery – a simple programme for complicated people.

Well done on your gamble free time. Trust will have been broken of course, the actions which will help you stay gamble free are the same actions which can help rebuild that trust.

nTry and find a variety of things to fill your time, we are less likely to find somsething else to obsess on then.

Привет Migouch и добро пожаловать на сайт. Похоже, ваш пост здесь пропустили. Могу я предложить вам скопировать и вставить его в новую ветку на форуме «Мой журнал»? Это гораздо более загруженный форум, и вы получите больше отзывов и поддержки. Обещаю, ты можешь прекратить играть в азартные игры.

[charles]

Hi Migouch and welcome to the site. It looks as if your post seems to have been missed here. Can I suggest that you copy and paste it into a new thread in the My Journal Forum? It is a much busier forum and you will get more feedback and support there.

You can stop gambling, I promise you.

Hello

Thanks for starting a thread in the Gambling Therapy friends and family forum. This forum will provide you with warmth and understanding from your peers.

Feel free to use the friends and family group, you’ll find the times for these if you click on the “Group times” box on our Home page. Now that you have introduced yourself you’ll find that many of the people you meet here have already read your initial introduction and they’ll welcome you in like an old friend 🙂

If you’re the friend or family member of someone who is either in, or has been through, the GMA residential programme please take extra care to make sure that nothing you say in groups, or on our forums, inadvertently identifies that person. Even if your loved one isn’t connected with GMA, please don’t identify them either directly or indirectly just in case they decide to use the site themselves.

You’ll find a lot of advice on this site, some of which you’ll follow, some you won’t…but that’s ok because only you fully understand your
situation and what’s best for you and the people you love. So, take the support you need and leave the advice you don’t because it all comes from a caring, nurturing place 🙂

We look forward to hearing all about you!

Take care

Hi and welcome to the forum.

I would suggest that you start your own thread in the My Journal Forum.

Please note though that this site is here to help those who have decided to address their gambling addiction. A few of your posts on others threads seem to suggest that you are looking for help on how to win back your losses. If that is what you are here for then I am afraid you ahve come to the wrong site.

If you are in a hole financially then the best advice, when in a hole, is to stop digging. You can stop gambling, there is life after gambling.

Read the other posts here and you will see the things that are helping others stop. When you start your own new thread in the My Journal Forum I hope you tell us which of those positive actions you can apply to your own situation.

Привет и добро пожаловать на форум. Я бы посоветовал вам создать собственную ветку на форуме «Мой журнал». Однако обратите внимание, что этот сайт создан для того, чтобы помочь тем, кто решил избавиться от игровой зависимости. Некоторые из ваших сообщений в других обсуждениях, кажется, предполагают, что вам нужна помощь в том, как отыграть свои потери. Если это то, для чего вы здесь, то я боюсь, что вы зашли не на тот сайт. Если вы находитесь в яме с финансовой точки зрения, лучший совет, находясь в яме, – прекратить копать. Вы можете перестать играть в азартные игры, после азартных игр есть жизнь. Прочтите другие сообщения здесь, и вы увидите, что помогает другим остановиться. Я надеюсь, что когда вы начнете свою новую ветку на форуме «Мой журнал», вы расскажете нам, какие из этих положительных действий вы можете применить в своей ситуации.
