I’m the same as you and for a long time have been gambling on and off. You’ve had a lot of stress and it can seem like a wonderful release at the time, only to cause you more stress the day after and wondering how you might pay your bills … then you might move things around a little bit and it can seem a little better, but as sure as anything those losses will keep on coming.

The advise on the AA may not be such a bad idea, you will probably find that amongst the group they all use (or have) used alcohol as a coping mechanism at some point and that’s helped to continue their journey

You aren’t alone, the advice here is very good and you clearly want to change from posting.

Moderators: if an establishment is participating in exclusion can it still take money from some who is excluded? Presumably they wouldn’t pay out under those terms?

Its been since 12th August since I gambled last, or there about. I went onto gamstop from here and registered, we did my and my husbands email addresses. I asked him to register his name too, since he has little interest in the gambling world he was more than happy to do this.

I’ve been reflecting on what I’m feeling, I’ve made some changes, my husbands made some changes too.

I listed my reasons for gambling the reason have always been loneliness, bereavement, stress or anger.

My hubby has tried hard to elevate the loneliness issue. Although tonight he was so tired after work and went to bed early… so I’ve been sat on my own. I don’t blame him for not trusting me, not even a little bit, but now its made me feel awful.

Staying awake because he doesn’t trust me, not because I’ve said I need more time with him … no less than I deserve, but still feels very sad
