    Hi everyone and thanks for your messages
    Every little thing helps
    Im going well
    Actually had my first good sleep last night and didn’t wake up consumed by thoughts of gambling
    Still focusing on my last loss and where this journey of gambling addiction has led me
    I hear you all about the barriers
    I once excluded myself from 6 pubs and clubs in the area
    The trouble is that I just drove further
    Its a shame that we cant get a country wide ban
    Feeling free and hopeful today
    Hope you all are too

    Well said Kin 

    Got to shut the brain down

    Stay away from the devils playground 

    I hope you are well today

    Hi me too
    I feel your pain with the credit card
    Credit cards with cash advances really aren’t for us
    I changed mine to a personal loan 3 and a half years ago all in all had credit card debt of 25000
    Still paying it off
    If I kept a tally of all my losses omg
    Accepting your losses is hard but must be done to move on
    For me
    I cant have the mindset of I’ll just bet 20 or 50 and go
    Its the first bet that just gets me in
    And once I start its like a drug that takes over my brain
    Hope your going ok today

    Hi I did it

    Thank you for your message 

    There is so much more to life than gambling 

    Lots of things have made me want to gamble 

    Sometimes in my past  its been a lot of fun 

    Its time to focus on how its made me feel afterwards and some of the desperate things I have done

    And some of the desperate things I have thought about doing but thankfully didn’t 

    Hope your going well today

    Managed to get my head in a good place today
    I deserve better than I have been doing was my motto
    Felt positive after resding some of the stories and the poems on here this morning
    Its been dry for a ages and got a good bit of rain here in sunny Queensland
    Have been working on fixing up the garden where I live trying to get some old hobbies back in my life
    Today Im broke
    But I am not looking for a loan or something to sell so I can go and gamble
    So life is good today
