Συγχαρητήρια για τους 3 μήνες. Συνέχισε να είσαι θετικός και να προχωράς μπροστά. Ξέρω πώς αισθάνεστε που μπορείτε να κερδίσετε στο αθλητικό στοίχημα, αλλά τελικά τα επιστρέφετε όλα όταν βγει το ψυχαναγκαστικό. Θα κάνω check -in συχνά. Μείνοντας συγκεντρωμένος στο να το παίρνετε μία μέρα τη φορά. Να είναι καλά!

[CraigMac6]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu 3 Monaten. Bleiben Sie positiv und drängen Sie nach vorne. Ich weiß, wie Sie sich fühlen, wenn Sie bei Sportwetten gewinnen können, aber schließlich alles zurückgeben, wenn der Zwang aufkommt. Ich werde oft einchecken. Konzentrieren Sie sich darauf, dies einen Tag nach dem anderen einzunehmen. Gut sein!

[CraigMac6]

Parabéns pelos 3 meses. Continue sendo positivo e avançando. Eu sei como você se sente sobre ser capaz de ganhar nas apostas esportivas, mas eventualmente devolver tudo quando o compulsivo sair. Estarei fazendo check-in com frequência. Manter o foco em fazer isso um dia de cada vez. Fique bem!

[CraigMac6]

Поздравления за 3 месеца. Бъдете позитивни и продължете напред. Знам какво чувстваш, че можеш да спечелиш при спортни залагания, но в крайна сметка просто връщаш всичко обратно, когато компулсивното излезе. Ще се проверявам често. Оставайки фокусиран върху приемането на това един ден. Бъди добре!

Gefeliciteerd met 3 maanden. Blijf positief en ga door. Ik weet hoe je je voelt als je kunt winnen bij sportweddenschappen, maar uiteindelijk alles teruggeeft als het dwangmatige uitkomt. Ik zal vaak inchecken. Gefocust blijven op het nemen van dit één dag tegelijk. Wees gezond!

[CraigMac6]

Congratulazioni per 3 mesi. Continua ad essere positivo e ad andare avanti. So come ti senti ad essere in grado di vincere alle scommesse sportive, ma alla fine devi solo restituire tutto quando viene fuori il compulsivo. Farò il check-in spesso. Rimanere concentrato sul prendere questo un giorno alla volta. Stammi bene!

3 ਮਹੀਨਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਵਧਾਈ. ਸਕਾਰਾਤਮਕ ਰਹੋ ਅਤੇ ਅੱਗੇ ਵਧਦੇ ਰਹੋ. ਮੈਂ ਜਾਣਦਾ ਹਾਂ ਕਿ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਖੇਡਾਂ ਦੀ ਸੱਟੇਬਾਜ਼ੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਿੱਤ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰਨ ਦੇ ਯੋਗ ਹੋਣ ਬਾਰੇ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋ ਪਰ ਆਖਰਕਾਰ ਜਦੋਂ ਮਜਬੂਰੀ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਇਹ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਵਾਪਸ ਦੇ ਦਿੰਦਾ ਹੈ. ਮੈਂ ਅਕਸਰ ਜਾਂਚ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ. ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਸਮੇਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਲੈਣ 'ਤੇ ਕੇਂਦ੍ਰਿਤ ਰਹਿਣਾ. ਚੰਗਾ ਰਹੋ!

[CraigMac6]

Čestitam na 3 mjeseca. Budite i dalje pozitivni i napredujte. Znam kako se osjećate kad ste u mogućnosti pobijediti u sportskim klađenjima, ali na kraju samo vratite sve kad kompulzivno izađe. Često ću se provjeravati. Ostanite usredotočeni na uzimanje ovoga jedan po jedan. Budi dobro!

[CraigMac6]

Gratuluji k 3 měsícům. Buďte stále pozitivní a tlačte se dopředu. Vím, jak se cítíte, když můžete vyhrát sportovní sázení, ale nakonec to všechno vrátíte, když vyjde nutkavé. Budu se často přihlašovat. Soustřeďte se na to, abyste to zvládli jeden den v kuse. Měj se dobře!

[CraigMac6]

Félicitations pour 3 mois. Continuez à être positif et à aller de l'avant. Je sais ce que vous pensez de pouvoir gagner aux paris sportifs, mais finalement de tout redonner quand le compulsif sort. Je vérifierai souvent. Rester concentré à prendre cela un jour à la fois. Être bien!

[CraigMac6]

Gratulálok a 3 hónaphoz. Legyen továbbra is pozitív és haladjon előre. Tudom, mit érez, ha nyerhet a sportfogadásoknál, de végül csak visszaadja az egészet, amikor a kényszer megszűnik. Gyakran fogok bejelentkezni. Maradva arra összpontosítva, hogy ezt egy napra vegye. Légy jó!

Hey bad sports-bettor,

I thank you for your support. I see we have a lot in common by just reading your name. Yes, I’m addicted to sports gambling. It’s terrible.
I’m headed to a GA meeting here shortly. I know I can’t solve all my problems in one day but I know I’m headed in the right direction.

I will check in tomorrow. Be well.

[CraigMac6]

PilotDad thanks for the message! I hope you are doing well. Yes, it is time. We both are tired of the same old same old. I know the urges will come, heck most of the time today is a day those thoughts come into my mind which state “I can control my gambling” I can bet just 1 game a day and win. Blah blah blah. I say today because it’s opening day for Major League Baseball, and to be frank, I could careless. I use to love betting baseball. I use to love following the games in hopes of a victory. Many years ago I thought I had this fool proof theory of how to win in baseball. It worked for a while, but it wasn’t fool proof. Even with the wins, the time I spend watching game after game after game took away from my family.
Anyway, I’m still here. Still fighting each day. It’s not easy but it’s my only option. Gambling isn’t an option for me. I just got paid from all 3 of my jobs (yes work 3 jobs and have nothing to show from it except losing wagers), and I have given zero thought into making a deposit into my sportsbooks account. Well, that account is closed but they would open it up for me instantly, as they love to see me back.
I hope all of you are well. I know I rambled today, but please know I appreciate being able to ramble/vent. I know it helps.
Lets have a beautiful, gamble free day.

Be blessed.
Craig

I’m back for another day of being gambling free. While I’m definitely stressed because of my finances, I had an amazing day with my wife and daughter. We enjoyed time together outside and I was living in the moment. I loved every second of it. I wasn’t constantly checking my phone for a score update. In fact I only checked my phone one time and that was to see the time. I have to admit I had some guilt because of all the times where I didn’t fully enjoy the moment because of my selfish gambling ways. There were so many times we were having family time, and I was present but my mind was occupied with a game. I would secretly (so I thought) would check my phone for scores and scores. My mood would change drastically based upon the score. If I was winning or won, I would be a great person to be around. If I was losing, I’m all of a sudden quick tempered and bothering by everything. I don’t want to live my life that way. That’s not who I am nor who I want to be. I know gambling has impacted us all, and it has caused us to be and do things we regret and I am no exception. I realize I cannot change the past, but I can control the right now. The present. By making my daily promise to not gamble, I know I will be a much better husband, father, friend and brother. Today I will not gamble. I will live my life on my terms.
Have a beautiful day all, and I remember we are in control of our actions. Gambling will never solve any of our problems, only make them worse!
Be great!

Hello All,

I haven’t been here in 2 days, which is a habit I don’t want to get into, however, I am still gambling free. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have multiple triggers over the weekend. As I have stated before, my addiction is sports betting and there were several NFL football games on this weekend. I definitely had the urge to place wagers over these games but I kept that thought in my mind of, if I go back to gambling, I know I will not win. Overtime, I always lose. That’s been true for over 10 years, why would it change now?
My addictive mind also tried to convince me I could just gamble a few games a day with a goal of winning $40 dollars per day, which would mean I would win about 280 dollars a week. Sounds good right? But I know, it doesn’t work that way because I’m a compulsive gambler that becomes very greedy when money is on the line.
Needless to say, if I would have placed bets on the games this weekend, the teams I would have picked all won. I would be sitting pretty this morning but guess what? I would have lost it all today somehow, someway on some games. That’s the way it worked. The greed would settle in and the need for action would persist, eventually causing me to lose and lose and lose.

Well, I didn’t mean to ramble so much but I’m glad I got this off my chest. To be honest, I’m not really upset or down about not gambling, actually I feel good because I’ve spent so much time with my family instead of worrying and following scores. It’s been a relief.

Thanks for all your support Fly21! I hope you are doing well.
Be Blessed. Be Safe!

One week down, Day 7, taking this one day at a time! Lets Go!
