Hello,
I started gambling when I was 18 now im 21.
Back in the days it all started with some slots, not much but it made fun. There was never a problem I gambled once in a while maybe every 3 months. At the Age of 19 I discovered online slots and thats where it all began. After a short time i won like 1000. That was a lot of money at that time but no week later it was all gone. At that point I started to chase wins like this and it ended up very bad. One year later I lost all of my savings and finally decided to tell my family about my gambling problem. It was the most diffucult but best thing to do for me, i quit right at that point.
Now over a year later I’m here once again. A Month ago I started to gamble again. I really dont know why there wasnt any trigger. Now im totally ashamed of myself and dont know what to do.
That gambling free year was the best of my life I will do everything to get to that point again and finally be free.

Today’s day 1 of trying to stay away from gambling.
To be honest I tried to gamble but I could resist at the last second. Now im here to write an update, that helps me to stay strong.
I visited a good friend today and I’m now off to study.
It is really tough to not gamble but im doing my best. I will study for the rest of the day and tomorrow I’m back at work.
Keep you updated

Day 1 again, I relapsed this week. Nothing more to say. I’m dissapointed.
Have to go on a work trip next week, I’m really excited about it, it will keep me busy.

Occupying yourself in activities and keep yourself busy is great. That will keep the gambling thoughts away.

Will keep you updated.

Glad to hear you have confessed to family. It is the most difficult step but a very important one. Now you need to work on staying gamble free- one day at a time!
