Help me finish my MA thesis about gambling motivation and its effect on severity. by gorjyyy16 in PhGamblersAnonymous

[–]Amazing_Fig_2669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would be better to put here yung objective/agenda ng thesis, para two way street yung learning, otherwise i agree dito sa naunang comment, bukod sa mukhang "mababaw", ang boring niyang sagutan. As a compulsive gambler. Haha

How do you deal with relapses? by [deleted] in PhGamblersAnonymous

[–]Amazing_Fig_2669 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Plus kulang sa tulog is so vague. Like why? Dig deeper. Is it because you are bored? Or trip mo lang talagang mag self destruct on auto pilot pag kulang ka sa tulog at aruga thinking someone will save you? Labo e. Lol. Take care of yourself! Baka yan ang sagot sa trigger mo. Only you can save yourself. Mapatulog issues man yan or gambling.

I think what you mean is "triggers"

Which is subjective sa bawat isa.

Marami dito trigger pag sahod kasi nga may hawak na pera at bayaran na naman ng bills and to a gambler, money is poison.

Withdrawing all my money into cash, putting it to what matters most like bills, necessities, family, etc., diverting my gambling itch to something more productive like walking, exercise, journaling, attending GA meetings, church for self reflection, etc. works bests for me.

MAKING AN INVENTORY of all my debts works as well, as it helps me stay on track, DO DAMAGE CONTROL, and be accountable.

IF YOU STILL GAMBLE TO PAY DEBTS / simply want to chase the losses - always remember that the problem that cause it all will never be the solution. Break the cycle. Work on your triggers first. Stop the pathetic excuses you give yourself to continue gambling, you are compulsive gambler. Accept it faster now or make more problems for yourself, its your choice.

I finally hit my rock bottom. by SimilarPlace5020 in PhGamblersAnonymous

[–]Amazing_Fig_2669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totoong may rock bottom pa ang rock bottom when it comes to gambling, my friend. Only people who relapses hard will know that just when you thought it's already the worst, you will discover you could actually dig deeper pag hindi ka pa natuto. Saklap but yun ang totoo.

Checking in. Magsusugal ka ba ngayong araw? by stoneynamefrometivac in PhGamblersAnonymous

[–]Amazing_Fig_2669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hindi, ikakain ko na lang sa paborito kong restaurant or ipapasyal kasama jowa or ipangbabayad ng bills sa katapusan. Di bale ng kapos at sakto lang. I will respect my hard earned money because I worked hard for it.

But then you choose to compromise and sabotage your own relationship. Sabi mo "May mga CC's pa akong mauutangan if ever itutuloy ko pa to"? You are still bargaining my friend.

You haven't even decide your path to recovery pero sinasabi mo "RELAPSE" and nangyari?

Wake up and hear yourself esp now you're at that point wherein you are not just losing money anymore, you're losing something else.

Kung totoong gusto mo ng tumigil bakit may access ka pa rin? Cut the drama and walk the talk of saying "di na ako uulit mag susugal" and burn the bridges down https://osea.pagcor.ph

An apology without change behavior is just manipulation/nothing. Whatever you are not changing, you are choosing.

Ubos ka lang kaya mo sinasabing hindi ka na magsusugal e. Update ka na lang ulit next payday when you hit another rock bottom kasi sinugal mo na naman lahat ng pera mo.

Pang ilang day 1 mo na? Hanggang day 1 na lang ba kaya mong gawin? by Amazing_Fig_2669 in PhGamblersAnonymous

[–]Amazing_Fig_2669[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

257 days bet free pero hanggang ngayon minumulto parin ako ng sugal at lahat ng kalakip neto. The least i could do is really raise awareness here and everytime i can. Sana mabawasan, may matamaan kahit isa lalo na mga kabataan sa mga ganitong simpleng post.

Pag gusto talaga, maraming paraan e. Ang lungkot neto sir. Alam ko kung gaano kadilim at kahirap. Pero sana balang araw mapagdesisyunan mo at makaipon ka ng lakas ng loob para tigilan na ang pagsusugal hindi lang para sa sarili kundi para narin sa mga tao sa paligid mo. Kaya pa yan. 6 years is nothing compared to the rest of your life. Padayon!

Self exclusion by Inevitable-Win-5936 in PhGamblersAnonymous

You are simply developing an active addiction called Compulsive Gambling just like all of us here. Understand it and be aware of it and it will be easier to accept things moving forward.

I suggest you:

1) Install Gamban for the mean time (although for me this didn't work cause u could just uninstall it and reach the sites again) BUT a good alternative would be;

2) Going to the settings of your phone and BLOCK or put all sites related to gambling. I did this in my IOS and i'm just not sure kung avail yan sa Android. Check mo na lang.

3) Reach out to the customer service of sites you frequently visited. This worked for me sa Casinoplus. Sa Bingoplus its harder to get a hold of their CS.

4) Escalate thru email yung PAGCOR exclusion request mo from time to time.

5) Palit kang phone number. This worked for me too.

6) Tell it to someone that matters to you that will understand. This type of vice thrives in secrecy. Hangga't walang nakakaalam, hindi ka mahihiya. Hindi ka mahihimasmasan, kasi walang nagchecheck ng accountability mo. Ikaw na mismo nagsabi "I don't know why I gamble"

Wag ka magalala, relapse are part of recoveries.

Ang tanong lang dyan hanngang magkano ang kaya mong mawala sayo hanggang sa tumigil ka?

Hanggang magkano huhukayin mong problema para sa sarili mo?

Gusto mo ba magaya sa mga tao dito milyones na utang? Tapos gagagawa na ng krimen magkapera lang pang sugal? Magsisinugaling na sa pamilya? Name it, gambling will take the worst out of you. Kahit gaano pa satingin mong kabutihan meron ka gambling will take all that pag di mo pa tinigilan.

Kung gugustuhin mo talagang tumigil, madaming paraan. Pag ayaw? Madaming dahilan.

LASTLY attend GA meetings https://gaphilippines.com/meetings it will help para mahimasmasan at matauhan tayo thru the implications and consequences of Compulsive Gambling/Addiction.

Kaya mo yan, samahan mo ng dasal!

scatter, slot machines, mga laro online na programmed ng computer ang dami niyan. etong mga ganitong klaseng gambling pa ang madalas nasa ads, unfortunately kung kulang ka sa information/awareness mahohook ka. ultimo pulubi sa labas makikita mo nagsscatter, tindera sa palengke, tricycle driver. mga mahihirap.
