Yes Charles, I did close it …. took as long as trying to withdraw winnings !!…. I have enquiried about Gamstop that’s going to launch in early spring …. I bumped an old thread earlier, it may be the saviour of many in the uk …. until then I’m going for willpower … I’m not a member on any other gambling sites and I need to be able to control my urges if I’m going to beat this

As has been said to me …. one day at a time ….I’ve walked 8 miles both last 2 days …. the blisters are not as painful as a big loss

Take care all …. I’m here posting for the long haul

Ive just contacted them to offer to be a participant in their trails

This is a great thing and long overdue

Launches Spring 2018

Be positive, keep busy, recognise your triggers, remember the pain this addiction causes, you never win…..

Lets all beat this ….together

Good luck in your recovery, i am right right behind you

I only arrived here yesterday, i suppose the first step to recovery is admitting the problem and arriving at places like here. Talking, listening, reading. Ive recognised over the last 24, the biggest trigger for me is boredom, or between the months of Oct and March. I go fishing most of the year apart from those months and ot keeps me busy, focussed and distracted from gambling. It sounds like getting back into Rugby could be a part of salvation for you.

Good luck, keep positive, and keep posting. For what its worth, i will be looking in and reading your posts

Inspired by others, i will try post daily…if i can manage it….
No gambling yesterday. Need to keep busy today, and intend going for a long walk. Im not back to work until the 3rd Jan. I am happy with that as it gives me time to get my head right, but the downtime could be challenging. I am feeling better today, still wounded, but positive. I must remind myself how evil, destructive and painful this addiction is.

Love to all

Similar to me …. I don’t gamble every day … never have … it’s just lately I have these moments where I’m in control gambling … win a fair bit, then lose the lot and chase it … it actually beggars belief what you have just done when you come back round to your senses ….. I have enough savvy and sense of responsibility to get a grip, it’s just , I need to do that without a relapse …. the pain of loss soon goes ….. you build up a pool of money … then a wee trigger in your head says … why not

why is it that the casino can consume you more than other forms of gambling?. I too won big then lost it all recently. the low i feel initiated me to join up today. I alos enjoy football, but when i have on the odd occasion bet on the outcomes, ive never chased it. Bingo, horses etc nothing…..only casino BJ .

i hope you are staying strong, im just at the start of my journey

Ive made the first step now anyway, by recognising and joining this forum. lets see what transpires. I will look at putting in barriers where i can. Its mind boggling how gambling can cloud your judgement. the thought of all that £300 in the bank sound great, and thats my focus, the risk for me and others no doubt, is the time line for all that to bear fruit, and the urges in between.

Thank you for chatting this morning. I will sign off for now, but i feel i need to return to this firum regularly and post, as i think this will be my release and focus to better times. I look forward to catching up again soon i did It 🙂

Thank you

Kevin

I really appreciate you taking the time. Its nice to get reassuring words and someone to talk to. I can never disclose to my family, my missus would not be sympathetic so i need to overcome on my own. I feel lousy, but positive at the same time, and im fully aware of how difficult the road ahead will be on me. Ive had 2 big scares, both after big wins strangely enough, one a few years ago and i stopped for ages…maybe months, the second just 2 days ago so still feeling a little wounded. You are correct, 2018 can be a great year but it needs self discipline, no one else can sort my problem. Can i ask, are you recovering or have you recovered?

im closing down my online casino account as we speak but the agent is trying everything in their power to give me options instead of full closure….

I am far from out the woods, small debt in comparison, and im sure the urge will be there….but im absolutely sick of this feeling
