I’m starting again.
Need to let go of the past. So starting a new thread. I’ve disappeared from the forum because gambling got a hold on me. I can say a bunch of wise things now, but that’s pointless. So I’m keeping it short.
Mood-swings, hitting rock bottom constantly. Enjoying life just becomes more and more impossible. If I can’t enjoy life now, how am I going to when hitting a new rock bottom.
The answer; avoid taking the risk to hit a new one.
Tomorrow will be day 1.
The only way is up

Hi Dave -day one means you are in the up- for some people stopping is instant- they go to one ga meeting or counselling session and they are stopped- for others it’s a process-we are all different but we can all get there. If day ones become less frequent – that’s progress. Life isn’t black and white . Hang in there – u will get there

hi dave,
that’s exactly how I feel and what I am experiencing in life – I have lost the lot – I currently rent a room in a house, no lounge, no family, they don’t want to know, no mates to support me, pissed them off and I turned more and more to gambling – you are not alone my friend and you can do it – I had a half million pound house, 2 other houses, and you name it a good life style – last month I had a second chance and I blew 40k in the space of 4 days – I had 2 suicidal attempts last year but I am now not going to let my demon beat me any more – we cant get cured but we have to take the advice and support and every day is 1 day better – you are not alone my friend – you CAN DO IT…
thought I would share a little of what of has happened in my life – theres also a lot more!!well done for starting again.

Putting time between now and the last bet helps to clear our distorted thinking, Dave.
Gambling can only take what we give it. We will NEVER get our money back, but it is possible to rediscover Life, one day at a time.
Never give up! -

Gambling makes us feel we hate ourselves, Dave.
It plays tricks with our minds, telling us we will love ourselves if we gamble…..Yea right!!! Don’t be fooled! -

Hey Dave,
Quitting gambling is hard. Give yourself a break. The money is gone now. Gambling will not help get your self esteem back or your money. It will just continue the negativity that you’re feeling at the moment. The power of positivity is within. You just have to tap into it. You’re talking to a bunch of people who understand the way you feel. We’ve all been there. But you have to move on from gambling. It’s the only positive and wise choice. It’s the only choice you have if you want a chance at life back. Gambling WILL take everything from you including your life if you can’t muster the strength to just not so something bad to yourself.
