    Life’s good and getting better for me now i’m on the right path. When i’m tempted and i do get tempted to gamble i now think of hook a duck , you know the duck game at fair’s . Only the ducks have clear signs on them like ” Gamble and you lose” , ” Gamble and you will hurt yourself” , “Gamble and you lose all your hard earned money” then theres nice ducks ” Treat yourself to a nice meal” , ” Go buy a CD you like” ” Call a friend for a catch up” and the more ducks i see going round the more nice positive ducks there are all i have to do is hook them ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Smartt sounds like you have hit rock bottom losing someone elses money and feeling suicidal . You have to be honest and tell your friend what you have done and tell them you will re pay it as soon as you can. I hope this is the start for a new life without gambling for you don’t leave it too late like i did and lose almost everything . Use the advice line on here or call samaritans if you must i have in the past , hope this helps ๐Ÿ™‚

    Hi Dave i like your lists they make alot of sense i am going to copy them and re-read them , thanks. I hope your okay and have taken theones advice but at the same time i hear what you are saying about self-excluding etc you just find some way of gambling ( like somewhere else ) it’s all down to the individual , having said that we must at least put as many barriers up as we possibly can , hope this helps ๐Ÿ™‚

    Constant reminders are all around us of gambling whether it be an advert or a betting shop , one thing i have learned is this IT’S AN INDUSTRY THAT IS OUT TO MAKE MONEY . It is like any other industry it is out to make as much money as it can as a compulsive gambler i get that now ๐Ÿ™‚
