Hi All,
I have finaly asked for a support from my friend to help me recover. All 4 years I was alone in this fight and were possibly to weak to talk to some one. I always were afraid that I wouldn’t be understood as it was too hard for me to understand myself as well. Think I was stupid enough and thought that I could win the gambling battle alone, and still had a hope that one day I will win big. My psychological and mental condition were decreasing on a daily basis and I’m still wondering how my wife didn’t catched it out. I might be hiding good. Haha 🤣
I don’t regret that I have asked for a help and now my friend and I will ve scratching a plan, on how we should act and what professional support we should seek. We have started from self exclusion in crunks and installed a gaming blocking software on my phone. I will be giving and access to bank statements from my bank ro my friend and he already signed in for a anonymous gamblers meeting in our area, so we go together. I feel supported and I would like to keep this thread as my daily or weekly post, to share my success. I know its going to be a hard way, but I’m sure I will manage it. I’m completely positive on it.

Hi all, many thanks for welcoming. To keep you updated, resently we had set up some milestones related to debp closure, selebrations and finaly buying the house. I have realised that I need a strict control over my finances, so made a decision to transfer all my savings that I will have after paying off my debts to the shared account with my wife. I still have to think how I will bring it up, but that’s achievable.
In addition, tomorrow we are vising the gambling group in our city. So far staying positive. Already over 10 days that I’m not betting, but not really counting the days that I didn’t bet, but counting the days towards my milestones.
Will keep you posted! Success to us all! -

Hi Kin, many thanks! Indeed, it is a huge milestone and now we are talking about 5 weeks gambling free.
It is a hard way to be honest, but getting much easier each and every day. Had many emotional and stressful moments but managed to stay committed to my target.
Success to us all!

Hi g3roin,
Thank you for sharing.
Everybody will experience stress and strong emotions.
Everyone is trying to live with the stress and strong emotions without the gambling.
This is called living life on life’s term, not our term.It was very encouraging to read about your progress. Please keep posting.
One day at a time. -

Man, what a progress!!!! It is over 2 month that I’m now gambling free! Cannot believe it at all. I mean it!
Surely I had a few hard times and it’s still catching me some times, as gambling seems were the way out of my stress that I’ve been having at work. But now, I found more pleasant ways to manage it and get my thought to a different directions.
So proud of it! We continue 💪
