[New beginnings]

Thanks I did it and Laura for the kind words and advice. I understand the need for barriers, and will probably keep the bulk of my money in cash at home. This addiction is probably one of the scariest because you don’t even know how deep you are into it until you lose everything.

On a side note, day 2 started with no gambling, hope to keep it that way. The problem is that I keep having this thinking that a small bet here and there for epl nights or big matches won’t hurt. But I have to slowly force myself to understand that it’s anslippery slope as what Laura said.

To be honest, I have been reading and following this forum for a few weeks now. Would usually come into it to read following a loss, but I never thought that I’d be writing and posting in it.

Anyway, I woke Up today feeling surreal, like I couldn’t believe that I woke up with the same losing and empty feeling again. I just think that it’s so unfair that some of us are pre disposed to addiction. Especially one that has the potential to destroy lives so greatly. I read some stories in this forum about people losing their life savings of 50-100k, and just shudder at the thought. How do you even find the strength to pick yourself up?

To my fellow friends out there let’s keep the good fight going.
