Hi there

I just want to say well done on your gamble free time and well done on getting here. Your situation sounds stressful and it will be but also know that things change too and as time goes on gamble free it will get easier to manage. Life doestn turn rose coloured when not gambling its real, but its easier to deal with without the madness going on and the destruction. You’ve stopped the loss now, you wont make it any worse, it will gradually get better. Do all you can, keep blocking software in place and attending your meetings. You can do this.. well done

Nice to see you coming looking for a way to stop gambling.
Banning would be a great idea to try for you if you are struggling with online gambling and land based. Depending where you are you may be able to ban both.
Try bet filter or gam block for online blocking
There is no free money in gambling and there are no wins
Look at the amount lost over all i imagine if you were ahead and rich from gambling you wouldnt be here
Whatever is lost is chased, whatever is won is lost

There are no wins when a gambling addict

Nice to meet you in chat, well done on getting here. For trying to make life better, for wanting to stop and looking for help. Hopefully see you in chat one day soon again. There are no wins in gambling, its all loss.

Thanks for posting to me

Im really glad you are here. You are doing well by being here, by coming to chat, by continuing to get back up. You’ve achieved things at the same time. Your holidays, your job, your family. Youre doing a lot of good things, keep trying for recovery, just keep trying. Whatever it takes no matter how long it takes, persevere

Not giving advice just want to say hello to you
Ive been here since 2009 I’ve hung on in the darkest of times, I just want to say i understand. Ive relapsed more times than i can say, i just keep getting back up. Things seemed impossible for me but there was eventually a breakthrough.. please hang in there. Go see your doc Mav, call the samavratins talk to people.. can you get on chat here maybe? sometimes its really good to vent and get it all of your chest.
Please dont give up, trying not to give advice but off i go blah blah blah sorry Mav.. can’t not say anything to your last post

Im so glad to hear from you. I know you are in a tough place right now but you are being honest and addressing it.
Online games are not gambling i dont think are they? Unless they are online pokies i think.. i see what you are saying though if you have to keep buying credits. I know its the escape, ugh.. i crave it too. Of course.
Kathryn you are such a strong woman and i know you have been through worse, you will get through this too..
Hang in there chickadee

I’m hoping you are going ok today.. just wishing you the best from across the seas.. never give up on giving up, remember its progress not perfection

I hope things are good for you and just wanted to say I’m proud of you.. you are doing great, hopefully see you in chat again soon
