Hi everyone, i haven’t been here in a couple of months, that’s not to say I haven’t gambled. I did but I did a little of winning here and there and well tonight I got drunk and lost it all.
I literally have no money and no job. My parents support me and I’m 20. More than that as I said I have no money left and I prepared a big gift for my mom’s birthday. But now it’s all gone.
I don’t know what to do or say.
Even if I think about quiting gambling I feel like if I manage to do that then life will have no pleasure.
I do have some dark thoughts, feel like life is really a big nothing…
Please tell me your thoughts…

Hi Justanothergambler.

Want to give your mum the best birthday present she has ever had? Then tell her when you are going to your first GA meeting maybe? Take her with you when you exclude from your local gambling establishments? Have your wages transferred to her account so that you are accountable and can’t gamble? Get her to set any passwords on a gambling blocker for your PC?

I have never seen my mum as happy as when I told her I made that first GA meeting. Actions speak louder than words, what actions are you going to take?

There is a lot of life after gambling.

No money=no gambling
It’s a barrier that works.
Where are you getting the funds to gamble?
Get barriers up now, go to GA as Charles suggests, tell your mum everything and that you don’t want cash, it’s just too dangerous.
You say life will have no pleasure if you don’t have gambling in it.
What has gambling done other than make you miserable?
Life is for living, and when you stop gambling your head will clear, and you will find other things to fill your time .
Take care, K xx
