    I really need do this but I’ve not be well, I’m having a gambling relapse at the moment and the only thing I can think about is having a wee gamble, just got a credit card in the post maxed the limit and had to use money out my wage to pay it off. I remember standing at those long 13-14 hour shifts with my feet hurting to the core of my bones and having cramps from standing , 3 to 5 days in a row and now I’ve done this. I have £1.30 left from 1100 wage after paying all my bills and it’s all cause of gambling, good thing is I excluded my self from casino and now I want to do it from the bookmakers.

    Well done for joining the site that’s a great thing you have seeked help.
    It’s also great to see that you can say you have calmed down a bit and then spiralled a bit, as if you think you can calm and have a bit of self control that’s great. As most of us on here are CG’s, and we need the help to help us get back on track.
    I would ask you to think back to that time we’re you say you calmed down, and that compare it to now we’re you have let the gambling control you and try to avoid having these urges or ask your self why it’s became like this.

    Then just speak to anyone on here about why you have went back to this point again, because I swear since I’ve came on this I’ve stoped gambling significantly my friend, and I want you to be able to exprience this gamble free feeling.

    It’s great that you have come to the realisation that you would like to stop mate, if today you say you want to stop. I hope for you tommrow you see the back of the online gambling site forever.

    But the main thing is you have realised this is not for u, if u can exclude your self from the site. If you have someone you can trust tell them about it and start the journey to being gamble free.

    It’s at a hard stage just now as the exclusion is fairly new, but I guess I need to solider on. That’s a main reason I took this step cause I didn’t want it to effect my education.

    What activities would you suggest? Thanks so much for the reply laura.

    Wow buddy that’s a lot of stuff to get off your chest, thanks for sharing. After reading the link you just shared, I’m thank you for your input into my post.
    Moreover i am not one to judge, its for the prosecution to prove the defends guilt and for the judge to pass the sentence. For the accused to serve his sentence and hopefully rehabilitate. Once my friend told how do you truely know your self if you have tired many aspects of life, I don’t say what you did was right in the eyes of the law it’s dishonest and a crime.
    But atleast you have found yourself after all this, it took time and effort as you say. But today you have a job and I’m sure you feel much better then I do at times, which is a plus side to your whole experience.
    Ps the casinos are just so gready that they would let fraud take place in the casino, but some could say they were a reason for someone the reform in the criminal law acts over the years.

    I’m not one to judge honestly, human makes mistakes. Our destiny’s are in our hands, I have a belief the heart is not made to withstand sin as it causes it pain. I’m happy for you buddy that you have found closure.
    Today I have time to concentrate on university and I wrote a good piece of work cause I wasn’t in the casino or bookies which I haven’t banned my self from the bookies I just see them as a time waste after being In the casino.

    I hope so cause at the moment , I keep thinking about the casino again which is bad.

    You are lucky that they let you ban your self, because I’m studying law something that taught me disapline from a rock road. They was actually a case called R v Charles , called the peddie loophole and people before 2000 I think. Where using Garunteed cheques to comit fraud and steal money , they got told that the money they are taking was fraudulent and at the time the casinos didn’t care as long as they got their money from the bank( the casinos were happy).

    What about yourself where do you work? It would be good to stay in touch mate. You seem like a top bloke mate.

    Well first and foremost I have excluded my self from the casino, in the morning just before I started university. The manager came out asked what’s the reason ,and I just said I don’t want to come back and got a exclusion, albeit I got a six month one. I hope by that time I have a lot more will power not to go back ,and I know that i have that option but not choose to take it as that’s how I gave up smoking and class b drugs in my younger days. At this point at in my life i can sit with people smoking drugs and not even touch the substance let alone smoke it.

    Your post encouraged me to take the next step, just I was dreading the letter they send home I don’t want my parents to open it as gambling is frowned upon in our family or culture.

    The break up has been a hard one for me as the girl just can’t make her mind up if she wants to be in my life or not and she’s a route to this landslide I have fell down, but also my own volition not all hers. That’s why I started heavy gambling again, I just about nearly blew all my holiday money and then won it all back from one number and then some more. When I wrote this post I was scared of gambling it all alway but now I’m excluded and I thank you.

    Well since this reply I have excluded all my online accounts.
    I am yet to take the step of excluding my self from the casino, it was in the casino where I stood there for hours, so I really need to.
    It’s true , I don’t want to gamble my future away that’s why I didn’t go to this place for 3 years of my education. I had bad breakup and it’s took me down this road.

    I tell my brothers but all they say is try not to go that’s why I came on this.
