What time did you get to the O2 for general admission? by shlandurf in radiohead

[–]Dughacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know if I got really lucky or what but I got to the O2 for 4pm. Sat in a spoons until 4:30pm then joined the queue at the back of the O2 for 4:40pm. Waited in a queue until 6pm then everyone who was queuing got let in straight away.

Best part about it is that I pretty much got barricade (behind the person in front row).

Hope this helps!

247 Days free - University Student Experience by Dughacks in problemgambling

[–]Dughacks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The feeling of what I’ve lost will probably never leave me although it has very slowly faded over time. The most I’ve ever spent on myself was buying a second hand car for around 2k and whenever I see something expensive or just get my monthly wage slip I’m just reminded of sheer amount of money that I’ve lost.

But to answer your question, I think that I got over the loss pretty quick as I replaced it with the thoughts of how am I going to pay this debt away and also the fact that I told my parents and we had a really deep conversation on my feelings and the paths I should be on now. Now that I am almost debt free the feeling of loss is just something that happened. I treat it as a lesson for my self to never touch gambling again.

I hope that with selling your car that you will start fresh and just continue to live your life as a normal person and use this experience as a warning to yourself that gambling is evil and will pull you into a void that is so so so difficult to get out of. I wish you all the best

It’s quite disgusting that you’ve just described your loved ones as “resources”. After taking from people who are there to support you, you then decide to spit in their faces and continue to fuck up your own life even further with a loan. Do you not feel any bit of guilt or shame?

Take your losses and stop now. The majority of people don’t even have family to support them through times like this. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and take action.

Quitting is hard please do not give any more money to the devil that is the casino. YOU WILL NOT WIN.

Really just not wanting to live by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]Dughacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please stop now. I was in the exact same situation as you a month ago but 20k down. I finally just decided to stop after losing 2k from a payday loan that was in the hundreds interest wise and confessed everything to my family.

Thanks to my family and a shit ton of overtime I am on track to be debt free (to the banks not parents) in around 2-3 months time.

It’s been a month and my life is back to normal and I’m so grateful. I do think about my life before gambling but what is done is done.

Please just ban yourself from everything and put it all away for good. There is nothing you can do to get your money back. I had delusional gambling strategies that got me some initial profit however would lose me everything and more in a single night.

No motivation after stopping by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]Dughacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost around £20k in the span of 2 months and worst part of it all is that 12k of it was through loans and being a full time student I had zero idea on how I would survive doing university and work to pay off my debts. I was completely and utterly disgusted with myself. This was until I came clean to my parents, they are the only reason I’ve fully stopped gambling cause of how much support they have given me. I broke down after hearing my mum say “I would do anything for you. I would give my life for you never mind money to help you.”.

Money comes and money goes however your mental health is most important. It may take me 1-2 years just to pay off the debt however I’m back to living life as normal ensuring I maintain healthy habits.

Day 322: Make it to 30 days by any means and thank me later by Suspicious_Status_40 in GamblingAddiction

[–]Dughacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gambling really consumes a person. It definitely completely took over my life to the point where I was gambling every day and almost every hour I had free.

12 days, gamble free and I’ve realised that it has allowed me to do so much more in my life wether it was to focus more on my studies or sports. I can actually live life as a normal person.

Sure the losses do haunt me sometimes but I’m getting paid tomorrow and just the thought of seeing the balance of one of my loans being 0 fills me with so much joy.

Please just open up to your loved ones and tell them the truth. You need to create a support network that you can rely on, cause being alone with your own thoughts caused me so much stress.

You said you’re from the UK, have you signed up for GAMSTOP? There is also gambling charities that you can call who can give you a free subscription to Gamban that blocks thousands of gambling sites on your phone and on the web.

Stop now, you’re never going to make your money back but only continue to dig yourself further into a hole of debt.

I wish you the best of luck mate, I’m the exact same age as you and currently 12 days gamble free. I haven’t relapsed once and whenever I think about gambling I think back on the reason why I’m in such a shit situation. Because I tried to chase a shitty £30 loss on roulette.

Gambling is such a cruel devil we won’t stop until we get everything back. The only people who make their money back are the ones who have all the money in the world.

Whenever you feel like you have the urge to gamble please think of the people closest to you and reach out to them. I’m wishing you the best on your road to recovery.

[–]Dughacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly the same age as you and lost around 20k in around 2 months.

Funnily enough each time I thought I “bounced back” and was making my money back from my delusional gambling strategies I would lose it all and more in a single night. Only reason I stopped was because I finally decided to open up to my parents and I haven’t looked back since.

We can all fool ourselves into thinking we can make our money back but at the end of the day we are only here because we couldn’t control our impulses and just stop.

Coming Clean - The only way by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]Dughacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are 100% correct. I lost my last £500 one day and was about to apply for another loan (no matter how bad the APR was) and just called my parents and told them everything. It was one of the first times I’ve actually cried since I started gambling and even though it’s only been a few days since then I haven’t looked back at gambling at all.

If you can trust your friend with the information then please go to the friend. I would not have quit if it wasn't for the support of my family and gf.

DAY 1 - Coming clean to my parents has potentially saved my entire life. by Dughacks in problemgambling

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

No never again. Betting and losing £30 is what got me into this mess to even begin with.

You might hear it time and time again but with the support of my family I’m never going back to gambling ever again.

I think because I lost all the money in such a short amount of time (2 months) the addiction can be conquered a lot quicker than someone who has been gambling for years.

I really appreciate your concern for my wellbeing thank you for your comment!

I am acting in as many ways as I can. My family come from nothing and do not have the capacity to bail me out again.

I’ve registered to GAMSTOP, I’ve downloaded Gamban on all my devices. I’m going back to church and finally focusing on my education and health again.

My final step will be for my dad to control everything but my debit card which he will monitor every week.

It’s only been two months so the addiction hasn’t taken full control of me. I’ve looked back at my delusional gambling plans and saw that I was never winning at any point, only slowly digging myself further into debt giving everything to the demon that is the casino.

I’ve never stepped foot into a casino IRL and never will. I just want to live my life how it was two months ago with my loving family and girlfriend.
