    Charles I appreciate your advice. As you say I know that I can stop but it sometimes gets difficult to get rid of these thoughts of going back there. I’ve tried to find some Gambler Anonymous meetings in my country but they don’t exist here, I guess we stupidly take gambling as a very expensive entertainment and not like a severe threat to our lifestyle.
    I’ll keep on posting, day 4 today and I’m sure I can keep on counting.

    Reading your story just like the journals of other people help me realise that I’m not the only one going through this hell of a situation. Today is day 4 and all I could think all day was gambling on football (soccer) matches, those thoughts came back and forth all day but I’ve managed to not do things I’d regret.
    I’ll definitely participate more here as reading from other people helps me focus again.

    Hello Jappy 799 I was glad to read your reply. I truly hope to get to that stage when I say no to myself and I actually comply with it.

    Hi MS,

    I identify with your case as I am also 30 and I’m also lucky enough to have a fantastic partner who is always there for me. Don’t lose hope and although relapses are there what I try to do is to tell my partner when I feel that awful anxiety for betting, then we try to do things to focus my attention on something else I enjoy doing and that won’t hurt our finances.

    One day at a time!

    Привет, MS, я идентифицирую себя с вашим случаем, поскольку мне тоже 30, и мне также повезло, что у меня есть фантастический партнер, который всегда рядом со мной. Не теряйте надежды, и хотя бывают рецидивы, я стараюсь сказать своему партнеру, когда я чувствую это ужасное беспокойство по поводу ставок, а затем мы пытаемся сделать что-то, чтобы сосредоточить мое внимание на чем-то еще, что мне нравится делать, а это не получается. повредит наши финансы. Один день за раз!

    Hi Kin and TayCuddie

    Another football CG here, I also went back to gambling earlier today and spent my money in matches I would never even think of following.

    Day 1 for me, let’s share our success to have some extra help!
