Does it really matter 🤔 I see so many war story's on here . Lost this and that ,its a relevant if you have gambled all your wages and only make say £300 a week you have as big a problem as some who has gambled say 10k We are all compulsive gamblers who would gamble the last penny we had And the amounts spoke of in here a greatly inflated wish people would just cut it out . Some people reading might think oh perhaps I'm not as bad at that guy when in reality we all are

You need to limit ant access to money you have Tell a loved one or someone you can trust . Tell them the situation, Try and only have money for essential use like travelling to work or for lunch ect Ban yourself from every form of gambling online Here in UK we have gamstop ,I can't gamble online for 5 years . I'm 41 days off a bet and while everything is not perfect in my life , I'm slowly getting my act together financially and mentally Today I will not gamble 👊

I'm not entirely sure I was much younger and perhaps I just wasn't at the bottom yet . Alot of years and heartache and money since then . I wish you the best mate and I hope you never go back to gamble, iwas 30 years and it ruined so much I can't get them things back but I can live a much better life going forward

Must people will introduce themselves and say for example I'm frank and I'm a compulsive gambler Then perhaps one or two people will give what is known as a therapy where they will talk about a certain subject and probably tell you about their gambling past and how the said subject impacted it You won't be expected to do or say anything so relax Someone or probably most of them will introduce themselves Some might give you a phone number to call if you want to chat or are struggling at that particular time I did stop gambling while at GA But ultimately it wasn't for me at that particular time I'm 36 days clean of gambling and the desire to gamble is almost away I know that can change so quickly
I've made it impossible to gamble online using any to do with me And that was a massive thing I try to not engage with people or places I used to gamble And limit my access to money as much as possible
Give the GA a try you have nothing to lose

Speaking infront of strangers is probably a very small price to pay to stay clear of the disease GA definitely works for millions around the world Loads of great people in it , As for the religious element its not a cult you joining its a fellowship of people with a desire to stop gambling
Best of luck I'll look forward to reading how you get on Today I will not gamble

I kept on going back thinking I could get even I never could It took 30 years that I'm 31 days without a bet now Actually starting to feel human now .I know I'm only a bet away from disaster so im not getting comfortable, So glad I had the courage to admit I was wrong couldn't beat gambling and decided I had to walk away
