You can and will be rid of it
A very sincere and useful post kin
Thank you
Reading your post really bought back memories of my own. The shuffling about money whilst asking myself “why did you do this to yourself again!”
This site definitely helps me, I log on everyday, usually, and read others’ posts. It’s a constant reminder for me of what I am not missing. What the consequences are if I choose to gamble again. Most importantly what others are doing to keep gamble free.
I always c o u n t each day and thank god he switched something on inside my head to enable me to say no more. I still had enough money in my a c c o u n t to continue gambling but I knew I would lose it all at the rate I was going.
Good luck and please do share each day you pass GF on here
I also agree that everyday is not day one. I feel that I have fewer gambling thoughts now than my day one and the reason is that I have not fed the habit for a while, though a short while.
if we stop feeding the habit, it does get easier as we develop new healthier habits
What you wrote above is the truth. You spent money gambling and losing, again and again. The truth is you will keep losing because you are a CG and no one actually ends up winning when gambling.
But your habit and brain keep on lying to you to ensure that the addiction continues, thrives and dominates.
Some of the wrongs you have done to others and yourself need to be given importance. It starts with honesty to yourself and others. Telling those that are concerned how you wronged them and actually saying sorry. Feeling and showing genuine remorse. This needs to go hand in hand with actions to stop the evil that is gambling.
You really deserve your peace of mind back, your true honest, good self back.
It really is in your hands and I believe you can be free of it once and for all

i didn’t realise it could get that bad. Really hoping things get better for you
i really relate to the feeling of losing yourself along the way. When I gambled I just couldn’t accept what I had done. I didn’t recognise myself in my actions and I felt so so small. It had knocked my confidence and self belief
thing have gotten better since I stopped. This can be the same for you
Kin you survived it! You are now aware of your mistakes because you said no more!
your knowledge of yourself through lessons learned shows and you are much stronger than you once were.
life is too short to look back. The old you who lied and took money is no longer here. Friends come and go. Since I had my baby I have seen less and less of my friends. I will now have to find friends that are mums too so that I can do ‘mum‘ things. I am much closer to family now as it is they that check in often to see how me and my daughter are.
you have come so far and your wisdom really helps us all.
