Last night I confessed, and she took it well. Although she doesn’t understand gambling addiction she understood I was in a bad way. So she is looking after my finances now… ordered a new bank card so I can’t sign up to any sites. She’s gonna have that card too. This is the only way to completely stop, and I do feel better now but at the same time a little lost knowing I won’t be gambling again. Thanks everyone who has wrote to me and given advise, this has helped me to be honest and realise gambling for a person who has an addictive personality will never stop even when winning.

I know shaun, your right. Glad your being straight with me, I need that. Yesterday proved to me that I’m lying to myself and shouldn’t be writing on here if I’m not 100% committed. Everything I get a urge to gamble I’ll come on here and read people’s stories…. thanks for the kick up the arse mate. Will stop and be stronger now!!

Yeah I’ve had a bad day today, gambled again. There was a site I remembered that I had not self excluded from… lost £100. Lasted 2 days so back to square one again… could of redeposited but didn’t and self excluded again which is good I guess

Congrats for being gamble free for a year Steve, that’s probably the best way to not gambling by having someone looking after your finances… I’ve though about it but I know it will make me more miserable, plus it means telling the misses again after all these years I’ve controlled by addiction. I’m chasing the loss, that’s the only reason I’m having thoughts of gambling again.

Yeah that’s very true Shaun

I’m not going to gamble today

Yeah I feel the same as that, I think to myself, right I’m down a grand… I’ll deposit another grand, double up and get extra to gamble with then withdraw the 2 grand back. End up reversing the withdrawal and losing the lot! Then it happens again! The thing that annoys me is that it is possible winning it all back, but greed, bad betting, bad mindset effects my betting. So addictive, and enjoyable but it ruins your live and personality.

Thanks Jappy /I-did-it…. proper downer this morning but works keeping me from thinking about it. How did you guys do it, and how long have you stopped for?
