I did not gamble yesterday or the day before that. That was a choice I made consciously, without clouded judgement.

Today is my day 5 GF
I am not in debt and I am about to go on holiday to Italy with my baby for our first holiday

I will not gamble today

Thank you everyone for your positivity and sharing your stories

Look for johnny123987. I put a message on this morning 

[Meghna83]

He is now 2years and 7months gamble free after losing everything he had again and again. That instills hope in me and reminds me that we are stronger than we know. 

[Meghna83]

What’s done is done.it is where we should draw the line. There is no making sense of it

our focus now is in staying gamble free.

Can’t Believe I Did This to Myself

I’m 41 years old. I have lost everything AGAIN. I’ve been trying to quit gambling for years. I’ve been gambling since I was 18. I have made some money but mainly lose it. I’ve moved up the ranks at work and finally started making some decent money. I always thought I gambled to make more money and not because I had a problem. As soon as the bigger money started to roll in the bets became bigger. I needed nicer things. I could offset spending with gambling winnings. For a few years I never won or lost more then 3-5 grand. I was always back and forth with that figure. Up 3 grand, down three grand. My bank account started to grow and I had over 60 grand. Then all of a sudden I lost 25 grand in 2 nights. and I was sick. I flipped out and lost my job. I then proceeded to gamble another 30 grand or so in the next month. A month laater I found myself with about 10 grand and in need of a job. I went to gamblers anonymous and realized I need to stop. I did for a few months. I moved to New York for my new job and was loving life. Al of a sudden I started gambling again. Not even sure why. I lost everything in a week. Then had to be homeless for a couple months and saved everything I could and quit gambling for about 4 months. Then I just had another relapse about a month ago and lost everything plus 10k in credit card debt which is pretty much all my credit. I have a check from work sitting here and it seems like nothing compared to what I just lost. I know I have to quit again. But the feeling of despair is frightening and I just don’t know how to accept that I let down everyone and myself again and have nothing and just feel down right horrible. I need to exclude myself from everywhere. Make sure to get gamble blocks in place on my computer and phone and go to meetings again. I know I can’t win the money back even though I have a plan. My plan always gets ruined because I’m a compulsive gambler.
Gees. I can’t believe I did this to myself!

Hi jon

your story is truly inspirational and i am so happy that you reached your two year mark in January. How are things for you now?

can I ask you how you managed to stop thinking about past losses? That is my biggest weakness and trigger.

thank you for sharing your story 

[Meghna83]

How are you murr? 

[Meghna83]

Thanks Vera for the words of encouragemenT

Those transactions Haunt me but I won’t let my next statements show thousands leaving my account 

enjoy your day trip 

[Meghna83]

I did not gamble yesterday despite worrying about my bank balance.

I stayed up late sorting paperwork and ordered hospital pics of my baby.

I will admit that I am worried about the state of my bank balance.

Nonetheless I did not gamble yesterday and I will not gamble today.

Today is my day 4 GF. I will not gamble today.

[Meghna83]

Murr. You are in control when you are not gambling, you are. You are making the wrong choices by gambling . You need to find barriers. I finally restricted myself properly and now I can’t get online to deposit money. I have never visited a land based casinos.

to be honest it isn’t their fault at all that they are allowing you. It is in your hands to find restrictions. It really is our responsibility murr. 

Please dont be be so hard on yourself. Take your recovery seriously and place lots of restrictions to aid you.I  believe in you murr. Believe in yourself, remember your self-control with other things.

I’ve probably lost near to £30,000 now but I still believe I am capabme of stopping if I put my mind a all my energy to it

good luck and keep posting
