    so far 4 days slot free, I can feel the urge though. I used to love going in after work on a friday and have a cheeky gamble and a cofree. I think I’ve got this, it seems mind over matter. I have heard of people quiting but only to start again, hopefully that won’t happen.

    thanks for the advice there. I avoided the slots tonight at our local social club. I kept looking at the slots but thought nope I will not accept it lol its wether I can keep this up now. I do feel these slots have been cleverly designed by psychologicalists or someone like that, although it’s addictive it’s almost like a mental trap. I was watching a few youtube videos earlier and to see the stories it really inspires me to quit altogether.

    hey thanks for that. it’s mad isn’t it, it’s like where we are here chatting away about gambling then over at facebook your mate is posting that he just won 350 pounds. that’s the trouble alot of my family and friends are gamblers and growing up has always had that gambling there. they don’t always win though. one thing I probably will miss is the chats with the arcade workers and where they are friendly and offer you free cup of coffee while playing the slots.

    it’s really just for fun sort of thing with an amount that I can afford to lose, it’s like I’m becoming very aware of what’s happening and it’s like I’m naturally sort of cutting back if you like. I gave up scratch cards about a month ago so I like to think I have the mental strength to do it. I’ve read alot of the stories on here of how gambling has caused serious problems, luckily it’s not been that bad for me and that I am aware, I think eventually I will just stop but over time yeah like your road your journey style.
