when I first experienced by big loss, it was around £4000-£6000. Just finished my teacher training and moved to Paris. My ex boyfriend knew nothing about it. I won £14000 following three bets in the space a 2 weeks and I thought I was onto something good. Initiall, I signed up for the gambling site and deposited £20-30 as part of a cask back deal. I would be paid an extra £50 for just doing that. I randomly placed a bet on a monopoly game and won big. WOW I thought. Quick money and I felt lucky. Then played online whilst new in Paris and “won” £5000 twice. Of course I lost it all plus £4000-£6000 on my overdraft.
Something clicked in my head to let go. I was good at putting myself in check back then. “You win some you lose some…lesson learnt…never again!” I said. It was just money and I never looked back. Did not consider myself a CG at all. Just acceptEd I was stupid and that gambling was a lie.
I never thought about it again but then I’d never played slots then either.
this time seems a lot harder to accept and leave behind. I, like you, find it extremely difficult to accept my losses and that it could happen to me. Someone who has always done well academically and is always in the green financially. Since having my daughter, the amount I spend on things has reduced drastically, despite having a relatively healthy bank balance.
my husband always commended me for being so good with our finances. In spite of being placed on That plinth (by him), I came clean about my recent massive losses. He was angry but forgave me. He still gives me £400 in cash per week, rent he gets weekly from his bureau de change unit in his store. This is his way of showing me the trust is still there so long as I don’t break it again.
I have slipped over the past two days playing free spins and gambling small amounts but I don’t intend to do it again. No losses but I will not heal if this continues
Your words have such clarity steev and I especially liked your explanation of “… but is that how we wanted to use up our limited resources … time and the good health we (mostly) currently have to enjoy it.” That stood out to me about how I feel about myself.
I began my own travels in 2012 and that stopped in 2016. Lived in france and moved around then Switzerland. I fell in love with France. The language, drama, culture And men !!!
I learnt so much about myself and the world beyond the U.K. I’m 35 now and wish I could still be on that road. Everything was a new discovery and taken by me as it was, without judgement.
I wish I could keep the French alive in me. So today I’m watching everything in French, YouTube clips and films.
i love languages always have
used to have so many dreams of making my place somewhere out there. Buy a house in France and travel more in Italy. Also a beautiful culture and country.
Today i am going to plan a trip to Italy and speak more French
thank you steev
Idi I agree, if I had the cash I think my gambling just wouldnt happen. Love the idea of going back to good old fashioned paying bills at the bank for everything!
I experienced that blur. scary. Lost 19,000£ within 30mins. Try to let go and look at what you can do here and now
Hallo Izzi Wie geht es dir? Gibt es Fortschritte bei der Kommunikation mit deinem Freund?
Es ist nicht einfach, wenn es um geliebte Menschen geht. Habe Hoffnung und kämpfe auch für deine Beziehungen. Weggehen ist nicht immer die Antwort oder einfach. Arbeite es durch und sei geduldig
schwere Zeit, aber du wirst viel stärker daraus hervorgehen
Здравей Иззи Как стоят нещата? Има ли напредък в комуникацията с вашия bf?
не е лесно, когато става въпрос за близки. Имайте надежда и се борете за вашите отношения също. Оттеглянето не винаги е отговорът или лесното. Преодолейте го и бъдете търпеливи
трудно време, но ще излезете от това много по -силно
Zdravo Izzi Kako stoje stvari? Ima li napretka u komunikaciji s vašim bf -om?
nije lako kad su u pitanju voljeni. Nadajte se i borite se i za svoje odnose. Odlazak nije uvijek odgovor ili lako. Prođite kroz to i budite strpljivi
teško vrijeme, ali iz ovoga ćete izaći mnogo jači
Labas Izzi Kaip viskas? Ar yra pažangos bendraujant su savo bf?
tai nėra lengva, kai kalbama apie artimuosius. Turėk vilties ir kovok dėl savo santykių. Pasivaikščiojimas ne visada yra atsakymas ar lengvas. Padirbėkite ir būkite kantrūs
sunkus laikas, bet išeisi iš šio daug stipresnis
ہیلو عزیز چیزیں کیسے ہیں؟ آپ کے bf کے ساتھ رابطے میں کوئی پیش رفت؟
جب پیاروں کی بات آتی ہے تو یہ آسان نہیں ہوتا ہے۔ امید رکھیں اور اپنے رشتے کے لیے بھی لڑیں۔ دور چلنا ہمیشہ جواب یا آسان نہیں ہوتا اس کے ذریعے کام کریں اور صبر کریں۔
مشکل وقت لیکن آپ اس سے بہت مضبوط نکلیں گے۔
Xin chào Izzi Mọi thứ thế nào? Bất kỳ tiến bộ nào trong giao tiếp với bf của bạn?
nó không dễ dàng khi nói đến những người thân yêu. Hãy hy vọng và chiến đấu vì mối quan hệ của bạn. Bỏ đi không phải lúc nào cũng là câu trả lời hay dễ dàng. Hãy vượt qua và kiên nhẫn
thời gian khó khăn nhưng bạn sẽ bước ra khỏi điều này mạnh mẽ hơn nhiều
Bună Izzi Cum stau lucrurile? Aveți vreun progres în comunicarea cu bf-ul dvs.?
nu este ușor când vine vorba de cei dragi. Aveți speranță și luptați și pentru relațiile voastre. Plecarea nu este întotdeauna răspunsul sau ușor. Treceți prin el și aveți răbdare
moment dificil, dar veți ieși din acest lucru mult mai puternic
Ahoj Izzi, jak se věci mají? Jakýkoli pokrok v komunikaci s vaším BF?
není to snadné, pokud jde o milované. Mějte naději a bojujte také za své vztahy. Odejít není vždy odpověď ani snadné. Projděte si to a buďte trpěliví
těžké období, ale vyjdeš z toho mnohem silnější
