You’re absolutely right; the losses I have now a surmountable, perhaps thats why gambling again feels so tempting. I can afford to lose “a little bit more”, but as you said, it doesn’t stay with a little bit more. Unfortunately I don’t have anyone to hand my cards to, I deposit using my phone and it’s too easy. The gambling blocker will hopefully help. The losses will come back in time, work a little extra and try to stay positive. I’d just like to mention i’m really proud you managed to not gamble; what a good idea to not have cards at hand! We can both stop, I know it. The start is the hardest, recent losses hurt and the idea we might win them back is so tempting. It’s all losses though, as you said. Time to start enjoying life again. Gambling is no longer fun or exciting, just agony. Hope to speak soon and with positive vibes

Thanks for the tips! For a while recently I felt like I couldn’t lose, win after win. Lately it’s like I can’t win, at all. I see 1000s disappearing from my bank like it wasn’t even there. It hurts a lot, imaging where it could’ve gone. Vacations throw away in mere minutes. With your help I found a way to block gambling sites. I lost my last 1000 today. I am committed now to stopping. I hope to be back in a week and be a week free of gambling. Thank you again, hope you’re all well.

Make that 2000 down. Does anyone have a good self exclusion program? Gamban requires a creditcard which I dont have and I need to stop asap. Thank you GT!

Thank you for the comments; unfortunately I did gamble again today and lost another 1500. The RTP was honestly disgusting; 28% after 800 spins on Book of Dead. How is it even possible or legal… 2 bonuses, 9x and 22x. Somehow I still told myself the next deposit would be “the one”, upping my stakes every time. How can you be this stupid.

Proud you made the first step in accepting the problem! As gamblers I’ve found we never quit on a win; even if you’d gamble and win today, that would not be the day you quit. We need the loss, the big loss, to realize we’re on a downward spiral. For us it’s a big gambling loss, for others a bad investment or even speeding tickets. We all lose money to something; if we can see it as a last investment into getting better, it’s not wasted. 7k now is nothing if you learn from it and stop now compared to the losses accumulated in the future from continuing. You can stop, it’s difficult but we all can. Stay strong and persevere, I believe you can do it.

Thanks for the support Ryan!

Day 1 and I already have an intense urge to gamble, to just win a little back so I can feel better. Trying to fight the feeling and not give in.

Hope you’re well and life only goes up from here; all the best!

I’m sorry the outlay of the text isn’t great, the sentences skip down a lot for no reason.
