    Okay, so two crucial things happened. Today I chcecked all gambling websties and ensured myself that I am self-exlcuded on them. I were not on few and that led to my first failure. Even though I really wanted to fight the urge, I couldn’t. I lost 400 PLN. Luckily though I quickly realised what is going on and stopped playing and di not lose everything. Right now I am 100% sure that I am self-excluded on all gambling websites. I have finally installed gamban both on my phone and my notebook (before it was installed on PC).

    2nd thing – I took another loan. So my situation is as follows:
    D1: 1428,50 PLN
    D2: 1024,56 PLN
    D3: 2109,60 PLN
    D4: 1656,72 PLN
    COMBINED: 6215.38 PLN

    So at first it looks grimmy… But I have managed to spare myself quite a lot of cash – 900 PLN on my bank account. I will tomorrow use it to pay some part of one of the debts. I sepnt 200 PLN on setting up a new profit-oriented website (of course non related to gambling issue) – we have a plan on developing it and creating

    Unfortunately prolonging loans is EXTREMALY expensive… That’s why I think I would finally want to tell my parents about all this mess. If I don’t find any other way, probably I am gonna do it next weekend.

    Important question: Do you have any tips on how should I tell them about everything?

    Hey, thanks for reply. You are obviously right about it all. I will use your advice.

    Hi guys, how are you doing? I still haven’t figured out what to do with the debts – I’ve tried to get long-term loans (for like 24-32 months), yet no company is willing to give me them. I will try to get more next week, but the situation is bad. Luckily one of the long-term bets I have made like a week ago turned out to be right and I won 296 PLN, which I immediately paid-out; if I won’t get a long-term loan this may be a money that will help me prolonging the payout termins. If I do, at least I have to ask for 250 PLN less.

    I feel kinda okay now, don’t really have an urge, but that MIGHT be because I still have a few open bets for the weekend. I will see how am I doing after the weekend.

    I’ve watched three films during this time, last one being “Joker”. I am writing this post as a short break while writing the film review; I already have written one more review yesterday. Unfortunately for those ones I won’t be paid, they will be put only on my webpage. I started back working on another page which is designed for blackhat money making – ain’t gonna spend much time on it, but I hope it will provide me some profit in the future.

    I was also on my university; since the classes finally started, I will have less spare time. I spoke with many collegaues and one of them told a story about her trip to the US during holidays – she made 2200 $ from 50 $ in a casino in one night while playing slots and roulette. I congratulated her and adviced her not to gamble a lot and she said she isn’t stiupid enough to gamble. This was an interesting conversation which I should think through; while I don’t care that much about her opinion, this may be a good extra motivator for me.

    Thanks for all advices – they are reallly helpful. I still got to think over a lot of ideas and concerns and figure out a plan. This may take a while. Regarding your concerns – since I used the limit before self-excluding, first bet I will be able to make would be on 1st November. And 20 PLN is literally nothing. I might have trusted an alcoholic to drink a 300 ml beer once a week if I knew this would have been the only beer he could buy in a month. Yet I still think you made a good point and will rethink it.

    If someone read it or at leats a part of it, please leave your comment. This will be a nice and helpful gesture!
